Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy sparked speculation about his political future during a packed town hall meeting on Thursday evening.
While the town hall covered various topics, the conversation eventually focused on immigration, a hot-button issue across the country. Ramaswamy, an Ohio native, has previously voiced strong opinions on border security and immigration reform, aligning with many who have been vocal about the need for stricter policies.
Speaking to a crowd at the Bushnell Event Center, Ramaswamy hinted at a possible gubernatorial run after being asked directly if he would consider running for Governor of Ohio. “Are you going to run for Governor of Ohio?” asked one town hall attendee.
“I’m a little more inclined than I was about 10 seconds ago,” Ramaswamy joked, drawing a standing ovation from the audience. The comment came during an open forum where Ramaswamy fielded questions from the Springfield community. The event drew hundreds of attendees, many of whom were unable to enter due to the venue’s capacity limits.

Springfield, a city that has recently found itself caught up in the 2024 political conversation, welcomed Ramaswamy’s engagement with the community. His remarks and openness to considering a gubernatorial bid in his home state signaled that the entrepreneur and political newcomer is not done with politics, despite bowing out of the 2024 presidential race.
