"So proud of my friend, classmate, and fellow southwest Ohioan today. We used to watch Bengals games at the bar in law school, it's awesome we're now here a decade later with JD joining the strongest presidential ticket in our lifetime," he wrote in a post on X.

"He'll be an outstanding Vice President and I look forward to everything ahead for him and for our country," Ramaswamy further added.
