Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy Quits 2024 Presidential Race, Endorses Donald Trump

New Delhi:  Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, dropped out of the 2024 US presidential race on Tuesday and announced his support for Donald Trump, after a lacklustre performance in the Iowa Republican caucuses.

Ramaswamy, 38, threw his support behind his former competitor, ex-President Donald Trump. He had praised Trump as the “best president of the 21st century” in the past, while also urging Republican voters to choose “fresh legs” and “take our America First agenda to the next level.”

Relatively unknown in political circles when he entered the race in February 2023, the newcomer followed Trump’s example in his own run, presenting himself as a charismatic, outspoken populist who constantly attacked his rivals.

He said, “Tonight, I have to face the truth. It was hard for me to accept, but we have looked at the facts. And the fact is, we did not get the result we hoped for tonight.”

“That is why I have decided to suspend this presidential campaign,” he continued.

After ending his campaign, Ramaswamy announced his support for former President Donald Trump.

He said, “I called Donald Trump earlier tonight to congratulate him on his win. And from now on, he will have my full backing for the presidency.” He added,

“Tomorrow, I will join Donald Trump at a rally in New Hampshire to share our vision for the country’s future.”

“We will work to make sure Donald Trump is next president,” the Indian-American former presidential hopeful vouched for Trump even after the former President’s last week scathing remark.
