Biotech entrepreneur and former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t seem too interested Wednesday in helping out Donald Trump’s campaign by writing a check... On Fox News’ Your World, anchor Neil Cavuto mentioned during his interview with Ramaswamy that Trump reportedly met with billionaire Elon Musk and other GOP donors this weekend—just as his campaign faces a cash crunch. “You’re a very successful businessman—a biotech entrepreneur—and you’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars. We’re told that Donald Trump has asked Elon Musk for some support. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Elon Musk made it clear that he’s...

Ohio Secretary of State and Senate Republican candidate Frank LaRose unleashed on Donald Trump Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy in an unhinged manner on Wednesday. LaRose released a statement as Trump Jr. and Ramaswamy plan to campaign with Ohio businessman and Senate Republican candidate Bernie Moreno. He said: Today, two strong supporters of the second amendment, Don Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, campaigned with a Democrat who has repeatedly mocked gun owners and parroted anti-Second Amendment language used by Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Sherrod Brown. Sometimes, even the good guys get it wrong, but Ohioans won’t fall for Bernie’s election-year conversion....

Former President Donald Trump is well on his way to easily locking up the GOP presidential nomination for the third straight time, but attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference were split over who should join his ticket. Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem tied as the top pick among CPAC goers in the veepstakes with 15% apiece, according to a straw poll at the grassroots event. Former Hawaii Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard came next with 9% support, followed by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) at 8% each. Rep....

Vivek Ramaswamy took multiple questions from Trump Supporters in Aiken South Carolina! Ramaswamy is one of the top contenders to become President Donald Trump's VP at the 2024 Presidential Election!

Vivek Ramaswamy uncorked his most bizarre election conspiracy theory to date on Monday, suggesting that the NFL playoffs may be rigged in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs to give Taylor Swift more national air time ahead of an eventual endorsement of Joe Biden this fall. The former White House hopeful shared his dizzying theory in a post to X, responding to a post about Swift allegedly coming out as “a super liberal in 2020” all of a sudden—despite Swift having endorsed Democrats as early as 2018. “I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” wrote Ramaswamy,...

Don’t take it just from me. Here are direct quotes from WSJ editorial board tonight. It’s all hiding in plain sight: “If she can remain competitive, there’s an argument for Ms. Haley to stay in the race through the July convention. Mr. Trump faces a treacherous legal road…Ms. Haley could stay in the race, rack up delegates, and see what happens if he is found guilty. “Strange things can happen with candidates who are this old and this disliked by a majority of the public. The 2024 election may have more twists before the Trump vs. Biden die is cast.”

Former President Trump will be joined on stage in New Hampshire Monday night by former opponents, now endorsers Sen. Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy and Gov. Doug Burgum in a "show of force" that the Republican Party is "united and ready to take on Joe Biden," Fox News Digital has learned. Trump is set to hold a rally at 9:00 p.m. in Laconia, New Hampshire, Monday night — just hours before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary. Trump is leading former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley by double digits in recent polling. A Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital that Trump on...

Vivek Ramaswamy drops out of Republican presidential race

"I noticed that he threw -- um -- Vivek under the bus. I've seen a candidate run for an office and basically campaign for another candidate in the same race before, but that's what's happened. And the minute he wasn't useful they dropped the hammer on him. That's just the way they are. We're going to go forward as a party. We can go forward in a way that's focused on peoples' issues and a great agenda for America, or we can go forward with Trump, which will be focused, the 2024 election, on legal issues, criminal trials, convictions, on...

The sons and daughters of Indians have for years had a positive knack for getting on in academia and the professions. These days, politics seems to be another field of human endeavor at which they are excelling.

Vivek Ramaswamy has been one of the more interesting candidates in the 2024 Republican primary. Once a staunch critic of January 6th and a supporter of COVID-19 surveillance apps, the businessman reinvented himself as a conservative firebrand. More importantly for his popularity, he has run a campaign that has gone out of its way to be supportive of Donald Trump. Because of that, Ramaswamy has earned the praise of much of the former president's influencer network, including those connected to organizations like TPUSA and CPAC. He's often been cited as the premier example of how to run against Trump (as...

Yes, I saw President Trump’s Truth Social post. It’s an unfortunate move by his campaign advisors, I don’t think friendly fire is helpful. Donald Trump was the greatest President of the 21st century, and I’m not going to criticize him in response to this late attack. I’ve met tens of thousands of Iowans across 390+ events here, and they are deeply worried - and so am I - that this “system” won’t allow Donald J. Trump anywhere near the White House again. It seems they will stop at *nothing* to keep him away from power. I’m worried for Trump. I’m...

Former President Trump and his campaign are changing their tune about fellow GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, now calling him a “fraud” and claiming that a vote for the biotech entrepreneur will help the “other side.” Trump wrote to his supporters in a TruthSocial post on Saturday that they should not support Ramaswamy because he is “not MAGA” and claimed he disguises his support for the former president “in the form of deceitful campaign tricks.” Ramaswamy, who till now has slipped away from attacks stemming from Trump and his campaign, has repeatedly defended the former president throughout his 2024 presidential run....

Vivek Ramaswamy certainly seems to have a talent in knowing how to deal with media. We've seen this now on multiple occasions where he has taken apart reporters who try to take him out but find the tables being turned on them. The most recent examples of this were when he decimated NBC's Dasha Burns as well as a WaPo reporter on questions about racism and white supremacy.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will barnstorm the campaign trail in Iowa with social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul on Sunday, the night before the Iowa Caucuses. TMZ first reported that Paul will join Ramaswamy in the Hawkeye State, where they will attend rallies at four universities throughout the day.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter had little patience for Vivek Ramaswamy as the Republican presidential candidate went fully conspiratorial about January 6th. Once upon a time, Ramaswamy called the events of January 6th a “disgrace,” and he condemned Donald Trump over the former president’s actions that fueled his supporters into violently revolting against the results of the 2020 election. Now that Ramaswamy is running for president as a Trump-boosting alternative, he decided to mark January 6th as “Entrapment Day” on X while dredging up the Ray Epps conspiracy theory. Ever since the storming of the Capitol, Trump’s defenders have tried to...

BETTENDORF, Iowa — At a campaign event this week, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy touted an endorsement by a disgraced former congressman who lost his election after defending white nationalism. He refused to directly condemn white supremacy. And he said he didn’t recognize the name of Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine people at a historically Black church in South Carolina. “Was there a point in our prior national history where there have been vicious forms of anti-Black or anti-Brown discrimination in this country, after the Civil War and otherwise? Yes. But you’re looking in the rearview mirror,”...

On Wednesday, Vivek Ramaswamy absolutely destroyed a Washington Post reporter who thought she was asking a gotcha question by asking him to condemn white supremacy. "I'm not — I'm not going to recite some catechism for you,” Ramaswamy told her. "I'm against vicious racial discrimination in this country. So I'm not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism which absolutely fits the test." "I'm not going to bend the knee to your religion. I'm sorry, I'm not asking you to bend the knee to mine, and I'm not going to bend the knee to yours. But do I...

By now, one might think that the liberal media would know better than to try to ask a gotcha question of Vivek Ramaswamy. But alas, they have not yet learned that lesson. On Wednesday, a Washington Post reporter ridiculously asked him to “condemn white supremacy and white nationalism” and was utterly destroyed as a result. "I'm not — I'm not going to recite some catechism for you,” Ramaswamy began. "I'm against vicious racial discrimination in this country. So I'm not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism which absolutely fits the test." "I'm not going to bend the...

Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to Vivek Ramaswamy saying he would be "complicit" in lawfare against the Trump campaign by remaining in primary contests that ban the former president and a new attack ad from the Haley campaign RON DESANTIS: Just absurd. I mean, I have a responsibility to accumulate delegates. I'm not gonna unilaterally cede any, I'm gonna win as many as I can, and I've been very clear about both of those decisions in those states. It's not consistent with the Constitution. I do expect them to get reversed. (LAURA INGRAHAM:)Nikki Haley super PAC has an ad out that...
