Vivek Ramaswamy is launching a provocative billboard campaign in Times Square, New York, this Monday, urging residents to escape from the clutches of Socialist Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani before itâs too late.
Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and the former co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency, is vying for the Governorâs seat in Ohio, backed by none other than President Trump.
His departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) followed shortly after Trump took office on January 20, 2025, with rumors swirling that he was eager to focus on his gubernatorial aspirations. This decision came after Ramaswamy ignited controversy on X with comments about American cultural values and his support for H-1B visas for foreign tech workers, which didn’t sit well with many of Trumpâs supporters.
In his remarks, he lamented, âThe reality is we have a culture in this country that often celebrates mediocrity over excellence⊠We celebrate the prom queen and the quarterback and the class clown far more than we celebrate the kid whoâs in the library or the garage obsessing over math, or science, or computer code.â He argued that this cultural disposition has led to a ânational shortage of talentâ in critical fields like engineering and technology, thus justifying the need for H-1B visas to attract skilled foreign labor.
Ramaswamy made his political debut during the last presidential election cycle.
The pro-Ramaswamy super PAC, âVivek Super PAC â Victors, not Victims,â is funding the new $50,000 billboard blitz in New York City. This PAC has reportedly raised a whopping $17 million for Vivekâs gubernatorial campaign.
Regardless of one’s stance on Vivek, one must admit that this is a strategic move.

Another tagline on the billboard reads, âWorried about Zohran? Ohio is waiting for you!â
According to the New York Post:
Andy Surabian, chief strategist for VPAC, informed The Post that New Yorkers concerned about their future should consider relocating to a state âthat is about to elect a conservative trailblazer committed to liberty and prosperity for all.â
âWhile Mamdani will further crush New York City with his job-killing socialist tyranny, Vivek is ready to unleash freedom, supercharge the American dream, and make Ohio a state of excellence,â Surabian argued.
âWe erected this billboard because we couldnât think of two politicians in the country who represent such drastically divergent paths for the future of our nation. The Mamdani path of socialist totalitarianism versus the Vivek path of American freedom,â he added.
âFor those New Yorkers who have had enough, freedom and prosperity await you in Ohio.â
The billboard is reportedly set to be displayed throughout the week.
