Vivek Ramaswamy Quits the presidential race and Backs Donald Trump
In a surprising turn of events, Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential hopeful, has withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race and pledged his support to ex-President Donald Trump. This significant development comes on the heels of a lackluster performance by Ramaswamy in the Iowa caucuses, the inaugural contest of the 2024 Republican presidential campaign.
Ramaswamy, aged 38, who had previously hailed Trump as the “best president of the 21st century,” made the announcement after assessing the disappointing results in Iowa. Despite urging Republican voters to opt for “fresh legs” and elevate the “America First agenda,” Ramaswamy acknowledged the reality of his campaign’s shortcomings. In a candid statement, he declared, “Tonight, I have to face the truth. It was hard for me to accept, but we have looked at the facts. And the fact is, we did not get the result we hoped for tonight.”
Following the suspension of his presidential campaign, Ramaswamy extended his endorsement to Donald Trump. In a phone call with the former president, Ramaswamy conveyed his congratulations and pledged his unwavering support for Trump’s presidential bid. He revealed plans to join Trump at a rally in New Hampshire, emphasizing their shared vision for the nation’s future.
“We will work to make sure Donald Trump is the next president,” affirmed Ramaswamy, showcasing his commitment to Trump’s candidacy despite a recent scathing remark from the former president. The Indian-American entrepreneur remained steadfast in his support, even after Trump labeled him ‘deceitful’ in the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses.
Ahead of the caucuses, Ramaswamy had adjusted his stance towards Trump, attempting to appeal to Iowa voters. However, as Trump’s anticipated victory in Iowa loomed, the former GOP presidential hopeful faced criticism from the ex-President on social media. Despite this tension, Ramaswamy’s decision to rally behind Trump underscores the complexities of the evolving dynamics within the Republican Party.
