Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-origin former US presidential candidate, refrained from specifying the role he would seek if Donald Trump were to return to the White House. He emphasized that there are various avenues for instigating change in the country, both within and outside the government.
After recently exiting the Republican presidential race and throwing his support behind Trump, Ramaswamy discussed potential roles in a second Trump administration in an interview with Fox News. The 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur highlighted diverse approaches to driving change, citing his recent endeavors in the market.
Ramaswamy, known for positioning himself as the most Trump-friendly and "America first" candidate in the Republican field, delivered a passionate speech endorsing Trump just one day after ending his presidential campaign. He portrayed the nation as being in the midst of a significant conflict between those who love the United States and a minority faction that opposes the country's values.
Expressing the need for a commander-in-chief to lead the nation to victory, Ramaswamy urged voters to support Trump, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Despite previous tensions between Trump and Ramaswamy, characterized by accusations of "deceitful campaign tricks," the former president praised Ramaswamy, acknowledging his intelligence and ideas. Trump even suggested a future collaboration, stating that Ramaswamy would be working with them for an extended period.
As the Republican presidential nomination race progresses, with the next contest in New Hampshire, Ramaswamy's impact and potential collaborations with Trump are anticipated. Current polls indicate Trump holding a lead in New Hampshire, with Ramaswamy's endorsement likely to influence their ongoing relationship and future political endeavors.
