Executive orders, pardons and... Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio governor?

Published January 23, 2025 at 4:01 AM EST

a man in a gray suit, white button-up shirt and red tie speaks into a microphone held by a reporter — Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy answers questions from reporters on Nov. 4, 2023, in Kissimmee, Fla.

Hours into President Donald Trump’s new administration, he got to work with a flurry of executive orders. From immigration, to Tik Tok to the WHO, we’ll discuss the far-reaching effects on the Tri-State.

Plus, the president pardons January 6^th defendants, including nearly 80 people from Ohio.

And, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted is sworn in as Ohio's newest U.S. senator. Will that give Vivek Ramaswamy a clearer path to make a run at governor?
