Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine is expected to pick his lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance, according to people familiar with his plans.

Gov. Mike DeWine announced his own Lt. Gov. Jon Husted as the next senator from Ohio, passing over entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. “Jon Husted will be right at home in the United States Senate, and he’ll be at home on day one,” DeWine said Friday in a press conference at the statehouse in Columbus.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who was also seen as a possible replacement for the vice president-elect, is widely expected to run for governor of Ohio instead.
