Washington, DC – Ohio’s Republican Attorney General, Dave Yost, who runs for governor against the technological businessman Vivek Ramasswamy in the primary, spoke with Fox News Digital about his campaign and what he sees as the key differential of the two campaigns.
“We agree on a lot of things,” Yost, who was in Washington to celebrate with the National University Soccer team of the Ohio Buckeyes national champion in the White HouseHe told Fox News Digital about the governor’s career.
“The difference is that I am executing myself in a record of results, not just rhetoric.”
Part of that record, Yost explained, is the time as the state auditor in Ohio, where he helped discover $260 million efficiency savings.

“It was Dege before Dooge was great,” Yost said later than “no one virtual” with which he speaks in Ohio opposes the fraud and waste spending that is a bar with the democratic rejection Dux.
Yost also promoted his history about crime and public corruption as State Attorney General since 2019 and suggested that his experience differentiates him from Ramasswamy.
“We have been fighting for the Constitution, for the rights of Ohio, fighting public corruption,” said Yost. “More than 170 people have gone to jail because my work and the work of my team. So, we have the leg in the trenches. We do not need work training, and I think that record of results will make a difference for the Ohio.

Recent surveys show that Ramasswamy, who has been supported by President Trump, Elon Musk, representative Jim Jordan and others, has a dominant advantage in the race, but Yost is still optimistic.
“Obviously, there is a long way to go, but I love Ohio,” Yost said. “I’m going to come back and talk to people. The reception has been incredible. People are anxious for a new child or leadership of America in Ohio. And I’m really excited where we are going.”
A specific problem that Yost believes that he has a leg cleaner on where he is stopped is the death penalty.
“I don’t know where my opponent is in that, “Yost said.” He talked about that. I imagine that that’s why we have campaigns, and we will discover it. But look, support the death penalty. “
Yost explained that “safeguards” should be used, and emphasized that “no duplicate” are made, but said that “we need” the death penalty.
“What do you do with a guy who serves life without probation and then kills a prison guard or a cook inside?” Yost said. “A family loses a loved one because or this murder. Was that a gift? What, are we going to give them another life imprisonment? So, at least in that circumstance, we need to have the death penalty, and there.”
“But the death penalty doesn’t work in Ohio at this time. We abolish it.” We still have the promise of that as the definitive justice. We behave “we executed anyone since 2018. The average time in which someone in the deaths of death has been causing to their process for their process, is a process of overlap, and we need any of the men to be and say, it is fine, we are no longer going to do this, or we need to follow the law and take the 116 people in the row of death to date with justice.”
A person close to the Ramasswamy campaign told Fox News Digital that the team is “I hope to help Dave Yost succeed in his next company, whatever you choose to do. “
Another local problem in Ohio that Yost told Fox News Digital to worry about is the recent impulse of professional sports teams to ensure taxpayers’ funds for stadiums.
Yost expressed Conerns about taxpayers who are in the hook for sums of several hundred millions of dollars.
“I am not so sure that taxpayers should be throwing tax money in these large public scenario projects, “said Yost.” I mean, those bonds, those taxes will be paid by people who in many ways cannot afford a professional game. That seems unfair to me. But beyond that, we have no limiting principle here. “

“We have all these different sports teams. We have three of them now, since the Browns said we want $ 600 million. The Bengals are presented and want $ 350 million, and the FC Cincinnati says:” What happens? “And very soon, we are spending billions of dollars in sports stadiums that are in a city a few days a year, when we could spend that money on any amount of other things, white, we talk about tax cuts.
Fox News Digital asked Yost what he listens more frequently when he travels to the state that speaks with the voters, and said that the economy and problems of the “kitchen table” are more frequent, but said that Trump’s tariff policies, which have been very defamed by the Democrats, are more popular than the media.
“At this time, everyone is observing how the world economy is to reorore the bee, already difference from what you hear from the predicted disaster by the elite press on the coast, it is a very different situation in the field in Ohio,” Yost said. “I Talk to a Lot of Businesses That Think Is Going To Be Good For Them, That The Fair and Reciprocal Child of Trade Go To Bring A New Resurgence to Ohio and To Their Industries, Just They what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s what’s What’s what’s what is what is what is what is what is what is what is what. “
Ultimately, Yost told Fox News Digital that he believes that his “registration of results” shows that he is the candidate with “experience and knowledge” to “bring Ohio to the brilliant future that is available to us.”
