Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he is worried that the GOP is going to be in for a rude surprise this November unless the part fixes that. “We railed against the Democrats, but without offering an alternative vision of our own,” Vivek said at a Fox News multi-part series Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy.
“We’re not up against a candidate here.We’re up against a machine. We’re not going to win this by obsessing over the other side’s shenanigans. We’re going to win this by answering who we are and what we actually stand for,” the Indian-origin billionaire, who could be the Ohio senator in case Trump wins and JD Vance becomes the vice president, said adding that Republicans got lazy. Vivek said Biden was a puppet and so is Kamala Harris — both a cog in the wheel.
“I traveled this country as a presidential candidate last year and, if I learned one thing, it’s that we’re not really as divided as the media would have you believe. It turns out that 80% of us in this country share the same values in common. And here’s the thing. They’re afraid to talk about it in the open,” Vivek said.
Vivek recently held a townhall in Springfield in the wake of the rumors that Haitian immigrants were eating pet cats and dogs. He said Springfield was not ready to take the pressure of the immigrants and hence the immigrants or the residents are not to be blamed, the federal policies that created the conditions are to be blamed.
“For me, this is close to home. I spent a lot of time here as a kid. I’ve gone to Mike & Rosie’s, probably bought more subs from there than I can remember. I used to play tennis every summer at Wittenberg in a program every time when I was growing up. That’s where we would come,” Vivek said. “It’s about an hour from where I grew up. It’s less than an hour drive from where I am now. So if I’m aiming to be a leader in public life and uniting this country- no, I’m not gonna turn my back on the places where I grew up and the places that are a stone’s throw from where I live right now as well.”
