Vivek Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate and staunch supporter of Donald Trump, hinted at a possible position in the incoming cabinet of the 47th US president, saying he has “some great options” at his disposal.

Jonathan Karl asked the biotech entrepreneur during his Sunday appearance on ABC’s This Week if he would join a second Trump administration, which is reportedly being assembled by the Trump transition team around political appointees who prioritize commitment to the president-elect above . something else.

When asked what specific position he would take on, the Indian-American biotech entrepreneur didn’t answer exactly, but acknowledged that he was engaged in “high-impact discussions” about his future.

“There are some great options on the table,” Ramaswamy said, as Karl brought up Ohio’s soon-to-be vacant Senate seat, now occupied by newly elected Vice President J.D. Vance, and the position of Homeland Security Director. , during the discussion. He further said that he intends to make the greatest possible impact on this country.

It is said that Ramaswamy will most likely take the two positions mentioned by Karl.

Ramaswamy would be responsible for implementing and developing the details of Trump’s immigration policy if he takes over as director of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump previously promised that if re-elected, he would launch America’s first mass deportation operation of modern times, aiming to remove at least a million illegal immigrants from the US.

On the other hand, Ramaswamy may have an easier path to becoming a political sensation in Ohio. This election cycle, his home state has turned red all around, as Democrats at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and elsewhere in Washington have dismissed the state as a losing cause in the presidential election.

Vance’s seat in Ohio will become vacant in January due to his election as vice president, and the state’s Republican governor will appoint someone to fill it. A special election will be held in 2026 to decide who will serve out Vance’s term.
