Vivek Ramaswamy supports Winsome Earle-Sears for Virginia Governor Race

EXCLUSIVE: Virginia’s Lieutenant-Governor, WinSome Earle-Sears, will receive a big boost from a national conservative figure in his quest to succeed Governor Glenn Youngkin in November, Fox News Digital learned exclusively.

The candidate for the post of Ohio governor, Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the original leaders of “DOGE” in the circle of President Donald Trump, plans to come together and support him during an event in Chesterfield next week.

Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital that Earle-Sears “will lead Virginia to new heights”.

“Winning in 2024 was the first step, but soon it will be in the United States to open the way,” said Ramaswamy.

“I can’t wait to direct Ohio soon, and we want a coalition of strong states to join us to rekindle a new American dream.”

Earle-Sears, who will join Ramaswamy in the suburbs of Richmond on September 19, said that she was “honored” to ask the entrepreneur to join her in the Commonwealth.

“Vivek and I share a deep belief in the promise of America, with hard work, faith and freedom, each family can prosper,” she said.

Earle-Sears called Ramaswamy as “strong voice for freedom, opportunity and common sense”.

“I am grateful for his friendship and his partnership in this fight. It means so much to welcome him to Virginia that we stick to the shoulder, working to deliver a brighter, safer and stronger future for each Virginian family.”

The Republican candidate, locked in a close fight with the former representative Abigail Spanberger, who leads a handful of points, has also received key approvals of figures like Youngkin, while committing to pursuing the economic successes of the current administration.

Earle -Sears has also made her personal history a characteristic of her campaign – often precipitating that she may seem that she should be the stereotypical democrat, although she is anything but.

“I look like the kind of people who normally vote democratic, and I am not. And so I call on all voters,” she said in a recent interview.

“My message is a common sense message that no matter where you come from life, whatever the color you are, whatever the country where you come from, when you came to America and you have tried and here you are succeeding is what we need.”

“Here, I stand, second in command in the former capital of the Confederation,” added Earle-Sears, who is black and immigrant to Jamaica. “Don’t tell me that America has not changed.”

The Ramaswamy event will be held in the Senator of the original state district Ghazala Hashmi, the Democratic candidate at the Lieutenant -Governor of the race in 2025 – and will also be assisted by the rest of the Republican post on the state level, Fox News Digital learned later on Wednesday.

John Reid, the Republican candidate at Lieutenant-Governor will be there, with the Attorney General Jason Miyares, who presents himself for re-election.

Reid will also launch its first big announcement before the rally, told Fox News Digital at Fox News Digital.

The County of Chesterfield, outside of Petersburg, is considered a Belwether in state competitions. Formerly republican, reliably for decades, it tends to tend to democrat since the 2000s with an influx of younger and more diverse voters of the Richmond-Petersburg metro.

Hillary Clinton lost it by approximately one percentage point in 2016. Former President Joe Biden then overthrew the county in 2020 – but Youngkin won him in 2021, before former vice -president Kamala Harris y drums around nine points in 2024.

The region is best known as the namesake of a brand of historic cigarettes and the house of several athletes, including the legend of the New York giants, Lawrence Taylor, the basketball player Moses Malone and the star of Nascar Denny Hamlin.

In Ramaswamy’s own race, he recently received approval from the Ohio Republican Party, which led the Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost to abandon primary.

The current lieutenant -government Jim Tresl – a retired coaching icon at Ohio State University – also plans to jump on the republican side.

Former senator Sherrod Brown has chosen to continue his former headquarters in the Senate rather than focusing on Columbus, and former representative Tim Ryan also plans a race against the current Primary Democratic candidate, the former Ohio Health Director, Amy Acton.

Recent survey trends have shown that Ramaswamy leading both Acton and Ryan in the general elections – if the latter jumps into the fray.
