REMINDER: Vivek Ramaswamy Super PAC Never Returned $100K from Epstein Associate
February 18, 2026
Columbus, Ohio – As questions continue to rise around Ohio Republicans’ associations with Jeffrey Epstein and people close to Epstein, Vivek Ramaswamy needs to explain why his allied Super PAC never returned a $100k donation from known Epstein associate Glenn Dubin after pledging to return the contribution.
Glenn Dubin, a billionaire hedge fund manager and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, donated $100,000 to Ramaswamy’s American Exceptionalism PAC. After Dubin’s associations with Epstein came to light, American Exceptionalism pledged to refund the contribution but folded without doing so.
During Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign, he claimed to be the “first and most vocal proponent of releasing the Epstein list” and said he would release the client list “without exception.” But in his run for governor he has gone silent,” running from reporters, and trying to change the subject while flying around the country in his private jet.
“Instead of focusing on the sky-high cost of living, Vivek Ramaswamy is jetting around Ohio calling workers lazy, saying Medicare and Medicaid a mistake, and giving cover to Epstein associates, said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “Ohioans can’t trust Vivek Ramaswamy.”
