Trump pushes DOGE dork to fill Vance's vacant Senate seat in Ohio

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is reportedly pushing failed presidential candidate and billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy to take JD Vance’s soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat in Ohio.

According to the Washington Post, Trump has encouraged Ramaswamy to take the position if offered by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who will make the appointment for the vacated seat once Vance is sworn in as vice president. The outlet also reports that Ramaswamy was planning to run for Ohio governor in 2026.

If Ramaswamy assumed the position, Ohio would be represented by a senator whose history is checkered with promoting debunked conspiracy theories.

During his unsuccessful presidential campaign, Ramaswamy said that the Jan. 6 insurrection of the U.S. Capitol looked like it was an “inside job,” amplifying a conservative conspiracy that it was undertaken by shadowy forces within the government.

4. Werent South Asians given their own racial category in South Africa?

Yes:

The Population Registration Act, 1950 classified all South Africans into one of four racial groups based on appearance, known ancestry, socioeconomic status, and cultural lifestyle: "Black", "White", "Coloured", and "Indian", the last two of which included several sub-classifications.[11] Places of residence were determined by racial classification
