Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox U.S. federal election campaign

Vivek Ramaswamy announced his Republican presidential candidacy formally[1] on Tucker Carlson Tonight, at an interview February 21, 2023.[2] He launched his primary campaign as rousing conservative vision[3] for American national identity.[4] According to Politico, Ramaswamy was inspired by Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election.[5] He considered a candidacy in the 2022 United States Senate election in Ohio.[6][7] Since then, he's been proposed as a major future presidential candidate.[8][9][10][11][12] Ramaswamy's central campaign promise is extensive elimination of most federal agencies.[13] His other key campaign issue is environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives, which Ramaswamy alleges are detrimental agendas that mix politics into business.[14] He markets this message as "American nationalism"[15][16] saying, 'I don't think nationalism has to be a bad word.'[17] He believes identity politics divide us, seeking for equity,[18] through "victimhood narratives" in need of 'Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence'.[19] Vivek Ramashamy's The New York Times 2021 bestseller, Woke Inc, describes a "modern woke-industrial complex”.[20][21][22] He also calls "COVIDism", "climatism", and "gender ideology", "new secular religions".

Political positions[edit source]

Abortion policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy opposes abortion,[23] saying "I think abortion is murder."[24] He opposes a federal ban on abortion but supports state-level six week abortion bans. He supports "exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother."[23][25]

Affirmative action policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy opposes affirmative action, calling it the "single biggest form of institutionalized racism in America today."[26][27] He has spoken in support of rescinding Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive Order 11246.[28] He claims the 'Secular religion' of "critical race theory" taught in schools violates Civil Rights Act of 64.[29]

Drug policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy describes himself as "not a war on drugs person".[30] He is in favor of federally legalizing marijuana, calling it "a joke" that the drug is federally criminalized.[31] He is also in favor of decriminalizing ayahuasca and ketamine usage for military veterans suffering from PTSD, arguing it will help combat the U.S. fentanyl epidemic and prevent veteran suicides.[32]

Economic policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy endorses ending the Federal Reserve's dual mandate to control inflation and minimize unemployment, saying the institution's mission should be limited to control inflation.[33][34] Ramaswamy opposes one sole central bank digital currency, calling it a 'grave threat to liberty'.[35] Ramaswamy endorses Bitcoin expansion by arguing a 'decentralized alternative' serves as 'a source of competition to the existing system', but opposes using Bitcoin as a commodity to help stabilize the U.S. dollar.[36]

Federal funding[edit source]

Ramaswamy promises 'mass layoffs' to the Department of Education, the FBI, the CDC, the FDA,[37] the Justice Department,[38] the BATFE,[39] the IRS,[40] the NRC,[41] 90% federal employee reduction at the Federal Reserve, the SEC,[42] Ramaswamy says we absolutely 'will lay off over seventy five percent of the federal employee bureaucrat headcount by the end of the first term, fifty percent by the end of the first year.'[43][44][45] It's unclear if that includes the Department of Commerce. Ramaswamy argues for eight year term limits for all unelected federal bureaucrats, similar to term limits imposed on US presidents.

Tax[edit source]

Ramaswamy did not take a public position on the Trump 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.[46] Ramaswamy favors abolishing the Internal Revenue Service with a total flat 12.5% tax rate for income, capital gains, sales, property, and inheritance.[47] In his book Nation of Victims, Ramaswamy expresses support for an inheritance tax rate as high as 59%, writing that intergenerational wealth transfers create a 'hereditary aristocracy'.[48]

Energy policy[edit source]

Nuclear[edit source]

Ramaswamy advocates for nuclear energy expansion,[49] calling it 'the best form of carbon-free energy production known to mankind'.[50]

Climate[edit source]

When asked about climate change, he answers, 'The right answer to all temperature related deaths is more plentiful and abundant access to fossil fuels.' [51]

Foreign policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy argues that 'foreign policy is all about prioritization' and that good use of the US military is 'protecting American soil and American interests, not a pointless war somewhere else.'[52]

Mexico[edit source]

Ramaswamy argues that the United States should use the military to directly take on Mexican drug cartels and “end the fentanyl epidemic in this country." He stated, "we can do it to Bin Laden, we can do it to Soleimani, we can do it to the Mexican drug cartels south of the border."[38]

Israel[edit source]

Ramaswamy is pro-Israel and favors reducing U.S. military aid to Israel, arguing that he will negotiate more Israeli-Arab bilateral agreements rendering U.S. aid unnecessary by 2028.[53]

Australia[edit source]

Ramaswamy wants Australia to compete with China to defend Taiwan, as well as deliver US nuclear submarines to Australia as part of the AUKUS agreement in 2021 by then Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden.[54]

Taiwan[edit source]

Ramaswamy says "we will defend Taiwan until we achieve semi conductor independence...I expect that to happen by the end of my first term, by 2028." He calls for putting guns in "every Taiwanese household" in order to deter China from invading.[55][56]

China[edit source]

He argues for the need to "decouple" this developing hostile government when referring to the Chinese government as a 'great existential threat' now that this "economic codependent relationship" represents a more significant threat to the sovereignty of United States than the Soviet Union did during the Cold War.[57][58] He says being "addicted" to rely on Chinese cheap goods is to trade 'some sacrifice of short-term conveniences', for the long term stability.[59]

Ukraine[edit source]

Ramaswamy proposes to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine by conceding Russia's current occupied territories.[60] To renew economic relations with these countries, Russia would be required to return to START and end its alliance with China,[61] which he labels as the greater threat.[62] Ramaswamy says he will cut support for Ukraine,[63][64] and block attempts at Ukraine NATO membership.[65]

Russia[edit source]

He reasons, 'I don't think that whether this would embolden Putin or not is the right question to ask. The right first question to ask is, what advances American interests[66]...and so no, I don't think it should be a U.S. policy objective to defeat Vladimir Putin or drive regime change in Russia. I think the top goal of the U.S. should be to ensure peace and security for Americans foremost.'

Free speech[edit source]

Federal whistleblowers[edit source]

Ramaswamy said he will free publishing organisation WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange[67][68] and former NSA employee Edward Snowden of all charges if elected. He said “Once we have learned the level of corruption that our government actually has engaged in, and repeatedly lying to the public, in a certain form, it’s a form of selective prosecution to not actually prosecute the government actors who broke the law, but simply to prosecute the one government actor who did expose it by technically violating a law of a different kind,” referring to Snowden's actions as 'a certain heroism'.[69]

Government censorship[edit source]

Ramaswamy opposes government pressures on social media companies to censor disfavored political speech. He said 'As Elon Musk did at Twitter, I will release the "state action files" from the federal government—publicly exposing every known instance in which bureaucrats have wrongfully pressured companies to take constitutionally prohibited actions.' He wrote, "if you can’t fire someone for being black, gay or Muslim, you shouldn’t be able to fire someone for his political speech."[70][71]

Immigration policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy states America must "unapologetically" secure the southern border against illegal immigration.[72] He says he will significantly lower the number of permitted refugees allowed to immigrate to the U.S., while adding exceptions under "special circumstances", such as for Afghans who assisted the U.S. during its war in Afghanistan.[73]

LGBTP policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy replied, 'I don't have a negative view of same sex couples', to a pansexual woman during a 2023 campaign trail gathering, 'But I do have a negative view of a tyranny of the minority...we live in a country where free adults should be free to dress how they want, behave how they want and that’s fine, but you don’t oppress,..., and that especially includes kids because kids aren’t the same as adults.'[74][75] In an interview, he said"cult like" 'is what this LGBTQIA+ movement has become'[76] and having 'no obligation to logic'.[77]

Parents[edit source]

He believes gender transitioning treatments must meet the minimum age of an adult saying, 'children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions.'[78][79]

Military[edit source]

He says he will not reinstate a transgender military ban.[80][81]

Marriages[edit source]

He permits marriages for same-sex couples if churches are not forced to perform them.[79]

Adoptions[edit source]

He permits adoption for same sex couples so long as all background checks apply the same for everyone.[79]

Voting policy[edit source]

Ramaswamy says that those under 25 who wish to vote should have to pass a civics test that is identical to the test immigrants take to become naturalized citizens of the United States,[82] or work as first responders or military personnel.[83] He did not mention amending the Twenty-sixth Amendment.[84] But he did mention, 'every eighteen year old should have to pass the same civics test that an immigrant has to pass in order to become a naturalized citizen'.[85] He favors requiring voter ID to cast a ballot and supports making election day a federal holiday.[86]

Events[edit source]

Ramaswamy speaks at AmericaFest 2022

Donations[edit source]

The day after the first debate, Ramaswamy's campaign confirmed it raised an additional $450,000 from donors since the previous night, with an average donation of $38.[87] In the first three months of Ramaswamy's campaign, he raised $1.16 million from donors, along with $10.55 million that he donated to his own campaign.[88] In the second quarter, he raised $2.7 million from unique donors, and donated an additional $5 million of personal wealth to his campaign.[89] On July 21, 2023, Ramaswamy's campaign confirmed to The Hill that it had reached 65,000 unique donors.[90] According to Ramaswamy, 40% of his 65,000 donors came from individuals who either made their first donation to a Republican, or their first political donation ever.[89]

Endorsements[edit source]

Main article: Endorsements in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries#Vivek Ramaswamy

Interviews[edit source]

Ramaswamy accepts almost any interview request, regardless of the outlet.[91] Ramaswamy interviews across the entire spectrum including Tucker Carlson,[92] Bret Baier,[93] Don Lemon (which partially led to Lemon's firing),[94] Krystal Ball, Margaret Hoover,[95] Megyn Kelly,[96] Chuck Todd, Kaitlan Collins, Mike Rowe,[96] Bill Maher,[97] John Stossel, Michael Knowles, Candace Owens, Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson,[96] and Russell Brand. Politico reported, in August 2023, that Ramaswamy appeared on over 150 podcasts since February, and once appeared in 30 separate interviews within a single day.[96] Time Magazine described it as a "everywhere-all-at-once strategy", which produced "a stream of online content more voluminous than any of his competitors."[98] Politico also described it as "the most always-on, always-available strategy of the 2024 presidential race."[91]

Polls[edit source]

According to FiveThirtyEight March 31 polling averages, Ramaswamy was at 1.2%.[99] According to a Rasmussen Reports June survey, Ramaswamy was at 3%.[100] Polling averages, as of August 24, 2023, place Ramaswamy third, at 10.3%, behind Donald Trump (51.6%) and Ron DeSantis (14.8%) among Republican voters.[101][99] An August Cygnal poll placed Ramaswamy second, with 11%;[99] While another from RMG Research placed him second place, with 13%.[100] Several polls find Ramaswamy attracts close to 20% from Republicans under the age of 40, while only 2-3% among those over 65.[102]

Republican presidential debates[edit source]

Ramaswamy confirmed, on July 21, 2023, that he hit the minimum number of donors needed to appear at the first debate.[90] Then he became the first Republican candidate to meet every requirement, after signing the loyalty pledge in early August.[103]

August 23, 2023[edit source]

At the first Republican presidential debate, Ramaswamy appeared alongside Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, and Doug Burgum.[103] The Daily Telegraph wrote that Ramaswamy "dominated" the debate,[104] while The New York Times opined that Ramaswamy "broke through".[105] The Associated Press likewise wrote that Vivek "overshadowed" DeSantis.[106]The reporters of Politico had mixed responses, variously citing Ramaswamy, Pence, and DeSantis as the winners.[107] The Hill declared Pence, Christie, and Haley the winners, while giving Ramaswamy a "mixed" performance, writing that "It seems near-certain that Ramaswamy is the candidate whose performance will most divide opinion."[108] Rich Lowry of National Review opined that DeSantis, Ramaswamy, and Haley were the three top performing candidates.[109] Liz Peek of Fox News felt that Ramaswamy was the worst performing candidate, while Haley was the best.[110] Anthony Zurcher of BBC News declared Ramaswamy the top winner, followed by Pence, and then Haley.[111] The Washington Post declared Trump (who did not appear), Ramaswamy, and Pence the debate's winners.[112] Ramaswamy's performance was praised by competitors Donald Trump and Larry Elder, neither of whom appeared at the debate. Trump, declared Ramaswamy the winner;[113] while Elder, who did not qualify, praised Ramaswamy's response to fatherless households in America.[114] Following the debate, Ramaswamy topped Google Trends and became the most searched for candidate. Ramaswamy received over one million Google searches, while competitor Haley received around 100,000 comparatively.[115] A post-debate poll, conducted by JL Partners, asked registered Republican voters who gave the best performance in the debate. Ramaswamy was the top candidate, with 28% selecting his performance as the best of the night. DeSantis closely followed with 27%, in addition to Pence with 13%, Scott with 8%, and Haley with 7%.[116] FiveThirtyEight also polled Republican voters, with 29% responding that DeSantis possessed the best performance, while 26% selected Ramaswamy.[117]

September 27, 2023[edit source]

At the second Republican presidential debate, Ramaswamy is expected to appear.[118]

Support for Donald Trump[edit source]

When asked to serve as Vice President to Trump, Ramaswamy responds, 'I just don't do well in a number two position, right...I can't do that from a position where I'm reporting in to someone else.'[119] When accused of running to be his Vice President, he confirms, 'I've already said and I'll say it again. I'm not goina work for eb, any admin, ya. Ya I would say no.'[120] When asked if Mike Pence did the right thing to certify the 2020 election, Vivek responds, 'I would have done it very differently.'[121] While some candidates, including Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson, openly criticize former president Donald Trump throughout his ongoing legal battles,[122][123][124] Ramaswamy both defends Trump[125] and insists he would have made better judgements than the former president.[126] Trump praised Ramaswamy for saying 'only...good things about me', and the two men have met several times.[127] Ramaswamy called Trump's indictment, The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, 'a national disaster'.[128] Regarding the 2023 jury verdict against Trump for sexual abuse in E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald J. Trump, Ramaswamy stated "this seems like just another part of the establishment's anaphylactic response".[129] Following the federal indictment of Donald Trump in June 2023, Ramaswamy vowed to give Trump a presidential pardon if elected.[130] After Trump's social media accounts were suspended following the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Ramaswamy and Jed Rubenfeld co-wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed that called the attack "disgraceful", but argued that social media websites should be treated as state actors and that their ban of Trump violated the First Amendment.[131][132]
