Vivek Ramaswamy – Candidate – President of the United States
Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American entrepreneur, is one of the seven Republican candidates vying for their party’s presidential nomination in the 2024 US elections. Before he went to an event, he hinted at a possible surprise in the race.
In a social media post on X, Ramaswamy said, “6 events across eastern and north-eastern …heading towards number 5 of the 6 events .. Across the first four events, the people who show up at our events disproportionately have not been to a contest before …these people are polled. So the polled numbers…” He further added, “We are on the track to deliver essentially a major surprise.”

My Hindu faith inspires me, gives me freedom
Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has said that his Hindu faith gives him freedom and has inspired him to launch his bid for the White House.
He also said that if elected, he would promote values that are not limited to a particular religion and that he would make faith, family, hard work, and patriotism ‘cool’ again in the United States.
