Vivek Ramaswamy - The New Star of the America First Movement

Vivek Ramaswamy is a 38 year old, 2nd-generation immigrant running for President as a Republican. He has caught the eyes of many, especially 'MAGA' Republicans for his anti-war and anti-corruption stance alongside his dynamic 'trump-esque' debate style. Vivek has no experience in politics but rather spent his entire life working as an entrepreneur and author. From a young age, Vivek was very ambitious graduating at the top of his class and going to Harvard and Yale. He later worked in Biotech and investing. Entering the race with less than 1% support, Vivek peaked at 11% after the first debate but has fallen closer to 6% among Republican voters. Despite his small share in polls, Vivek has a unique advantage that places him closer to the Presidency than all other candidates - excluding Trump who is leading with a staggering 60%.

"President Trump, I believe, was the best President of the 21st century."

His ideological similarity to Trump, similar stance in corruption and war and his vocal support of Trump has made experts believe that Vivek probably will be picked as Vice President for Trump. However, Vivek himself has many times mentioned that he isn't interested in "Plan B" and that he believes he can win.

Vivek Speaking about the situation of the US


Recently Vivek has been clashing with Nikki Haley on the debate floor calling her a "Warhawk", "Neocon" and "corrupt". Vivek's policy revolves around being anti-corruption and anti-deepstate therefore shutting down agencies and reforming them, fighting against congressional insider trading while also ensuring that government officials do not have links with companies and are not allowed to join high positions of companies they collaborated with after they retire. from politics. In addition, Vivek is a raging anti-war supporter and has criticized anyone who supports sending military aid, money and even soldiers to countries such as Israel and Ukraine. Overall, Vivek is full of controversial views and is socially very conservative but due to his young age, immigrant status, refreshing views in foreign policy and anti-corruption stance many young people from both parties have joined together in supporting him.
