A lot of people hoped that Governor Mike DeWine would replace J.D. Vance in the Senate with Vivek Ramaswamy.
I was not among them.
Instead, Jon Husted will be headed to Washington, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief.

Husted is currently the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, and is something of a Mike DeWine clone, only younger and better looking.
Gov. Mike DeWine has selected his own Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to become the next senator from Ohio, passing over entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Two sources, granted anonymity to speak freely about the appointment, confirmed that DeWine will pick Husted.
DeWine is expected to make the announcement at 1p.m.
Husted, a Republican more in DeWine’s…
