Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is doing all he can to take a bite out of Donald Trump's base in his pursuit of the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
The 37-year-old Cincinnati, Ohio-area native has pledged, if elected, he would pardon the former president for alleged federal crimes. He has proposed raising the legal voting age to 25 unless you pass a citizenship test or serve in the U.S. armed forces.
Just this week he released a Supreme Court nominee list that included conservative lawmakers such as Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah.
Ramaswamy's pitch that he will be Trump 2.0 appears to be working, according to national polls.

Vivek "I want to bring back George Washington America First" vision.
Corporate Media: Vivek suggests bringing back Slavery.
😂
ditto.
This dude is rad. Good luck to him, long road ahead.
he is selling us out to the Indians...
Vivek is the best candidate the GOP has by far.
yeah o right fool defending Trump giving 18years old a test ??? WTFFFFFFFFF eh wants to bring us back to the old days about the literacy test in order to vote.
thats how awful the gop is
he wants to pardon trump and
put cruz on the supreme court
🤡
No, he’s not. His policies are crap.
@@ironmantis25 great argument drrrrrrr
@@ironmantis25
Solid reasoning
Provocative statements surely, but watch the videos where he explains his reason and logic. Everything Vivek is saying makes sense! Just listen if you don't know him yet.
I learnt a lot from him and I am 81 years old and a Trumper. I agree with you 100%. Let's not waste any more time period.
@@user-de9uc3py4dHe’s American… Your comment doesn’t even make sense.
@@user-de9uc3py4d You must be talking about first generation Indians. He is born here.
@@user-de9uc3py4dIndians are native to this land. The White man came later.
@@user-de9uc3py4d he hasnt said anything that shows he cares about indians than americans?
Surprised there’s no warning about this video being edited out of context. This is exactly why other people think USA is stupid. Couldn’t even include the questions never mind his entire answers.
It's obviously a summary video of his views, nothing is out of context. We can easily guess what the question were, from what he is saying. For every one stupid American, there are a million stupid non Americans, so we're not worried about that either.
Wow, I’m shocked. The first comment isn’t “Vivek for Trump’s VP derp derp.” Why would Vivek be VP to a candidate that couldn’t even beat Dementia Joe in deep red Georgia, let alone win a general election?! Vivek now or never. Vivek 24!
As a Georgia Republican, I will not vote for Trump in 2024 under any circumstances, but I will likely vote for Vivek :)
@@intellectualproperty1251 same. I’m a Desantis supporter but Vivek is definitely my 2nd choice and heck, could even become my top choice closer to election time. If Trump is the nominee, I’m voting for Biden though. I’ll gladly pay a few bucks more for gas and groceries if it means keeping Trump out of power.
@@panthertrain1984 You cannot beat a corrupt Democrat racket that has a bottomless stack of ballots to inject on demand.
100% correct. I am right now considering DeSantis or Vivek as who I will vote for. Trump would be the last choice of person I would vote for out of all the candidates. Trump is not only a bad person and unqualified to run a business let alone a country, he is extremely unpopular among the majority of the country.
Dont be fooled again. BIDEN HAS NEVER "BEATEN" TRUMP. A bank robber does not get kudos for being rich or being a great philanthropist for giving stolen money to charity does he? How does the Dems STEALING the election lead to "Biden "BEATING" Trump"? Wake up bud. The clock is ticking... 💔🤍💙🇺🇸
Vivek is the ONLY choice ❤
Vivek is amazing!
I think he is a dangerous opportunist.
@@dpkny71 Lol you are extremely naïve and immature if you don't think they arent all opportunist. You dont get to be the POTUS without being cunning and an opportunist> What matters is domestic, foreign policy. He is clear on those. Read Read Read. Stop making conclusion and being a blind fanboy of someone.
@@dpkny71 -- You see things the way they are. Congratulation for not being fooled.
Vivek is young, smart, self made, religious, supports Christianity, loves America, speaks truth, made life saving medicine, knows how to run companies, rookie politicians, kinda like trump but can get the point across without the libs freaking out… vote vivek24🇺🇸
Sumed up... Just right...👍
He is Hindu.
@@JkBee If you learn about the core tenets of Hinduism, most if not all of the principles are closely aligned with the principles in Christianity. Hindus do not condone violence, bigotry or any form of hatred rather it focuses on peace and a serene way of living. Hindus DO NOT strictly do not believe in converting anyone to their religion as that is against their religion. Therefore, the main differentiator then is what Vivek identifies with. Now tell me: Would you rather vote for someone that follows the principles of Christianity, has a vast and deep knowledge about the constitutions, has a billion-dollar company and self-made, and has a highly educated background, or vote for someone that calls themselves Christian but also is misogynistic and has a string of negative press rep which they live true to? I suggest making a wise decision for your country.
Being a Christian is not a religion, it’s a relationship.
@naborsimbor5752 Not everybody who professes to be a Christian is one. And no one is good enough to go to Heaven on their own. Vivek and Donald Trump are no exceptions to that rule. All of us deserves to burn in Hell for our sins. That is how serious sin is. But Jesus loved humanity so much that he was willing to die on the Cross for our sins. Believe on Jesus Christ(more than just acknowledging his existence)and what he did on the Cross for your sins and you will be saved. This idea that a person can go to Heaven based off good works/merit is a lie taught In Catholicism and other religions.
My dude is everywhere 😎
If Vivek becomes President, he will bring back the respect to USA from rest of the world because he is best candidate so far out there combined GOP and Democratic party . He is absolutely brilliant.
What makes you think Vivek is brilliant ?
@@dpkny71 -- People get snowed by big talk. They are very impressionable and cannot see the forest for the trees.
@@dpkny71Tat is what India‘s IT cell(BJP party) does. Commenting fake and untrue stories. Shit has travelled to the US now. Good luck guyz
I swear Vivek had to have had himself cloned...he is everywhere!! He has my vote at this point.
I like a Ramaswamy/Scott ticket.
no he’s just paying for press coverage
happens all the time
@@samp1568 so are you saying he isn't in all the many places I have watched him speak from?
@@samp1568 It isn't easy to show up and answer questions and present your thoughts almost every day at different places. The donor establishment of Republican Party are all on sidelines for Vivek. He relies on public support and so to get that support it is crucial for him to be "Everywhere" at all cost.
He is everywhere BSing without borders.
@@dpkny71since you have no proof he is bsing your point is invalid. Keep crying liberal
This man is everywhere!!
And I'm absolutely loving that! Finally Americans are recognizing a real candidate.
He want 2024 presidency so bad.
and nowhere!!
Can we get the Entire interview please?
Vivek 2024
Props to Vivek. He's appearing EVERYWHERE! Kinda reminds me of the Andrew Tate approach lol. Every time I refresh RUclips there's another new video with Vivek. He def got my attention!
Andrew Tate have 1000 different so called "fan made" channels that keeps posting his short clips every minute of the day. Good marketing skills but bad misogynistic influence. Tate says 4 good general things and 100 other senseless content.
@@ksg7882he might have meanth andrew yang
Vivek has my support! He is one of a kind! Hopefully god blesses us with a great leader!
A Swamy tsunami!
Would love to see Vivek debate Biden!😂😂
That will be hilarious and expose the Dem's total vacuity.
Biden will think he's walked into a 7/11 and continuously call Vivek "Ramshawarma" 🤣
@@Ahmed-gf6br 🤣 It would be glorious!
This is a revival! Vivek2024!
Vivek is the best candidate for POTUS since Reagen
What makes you get to that conclusion ?
Vivek is like no others...he is truly unique candidate.
Mr. Ramaswamy's not just proven successful Wall Street multi billionaire businessman, he also graduated from Yale Law school and he was high school valedictorian. So it's not just that he has balls to talk to anybody but he will answer their questions with specific facts. Man is extraordinary person....just brilliant and confident. He has my vote.
A wet behind-the-ears version of DJT at age 37. Total lacking a sense of American history, and its democratic norms and institutions. A very superficial presidential candidate who's not at all ready for prime time.
US deserves such president as Vivek to bring back the glory/respect to US .
Do not trust him. He is cunning.
@@ja225educate me with the next best thing
Throw out the old people with the bath water. We need young people with the ideas of our founding fathers to bring this country back. DeSantis and Vivek
This guy deserves to be the President of USA
What makes you think so ?
Nope
@@666thprofetofthegodthatnev5yep
I think he got this
I want to volunteer. I agree 1M% with everything I heard you say! Yes! Amen
This young man is impressive. I nlike him.
You can't even spell, so what credibility does your statement have?
Really like this guy and wish him all the best for the election but am curious, what happens when an 18 year old American fails the civics test that every migrant has to do ?
Retake like the driving test?
Ya I would presume the individual will then study up and be more prepared then retake it. That being said, it's not a huge part of his platform, and not a hill to die on, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.
@@JosephQuillen . I understand where he’s coming from . I live in Australia and if there is one thing I’d like to see in my country, it’s national service. It teaches discipline. I send my son for Navy Cadets and the amount of discipline he’s learnt from there is mind blowing. He’s trying to bring in Patriotism.
Not just on the voting issue, if you look deeper on all his advocacy, he is simply BSing without borders.
Death penalty, simple 😀
Vivek 2024!
I know he is new to politics but his experience could probably help America. I can see in his eyes that he is really passionate about changing America for the better. He is so smart and intelligent. I will definitely vote for him.
Well Vivek I'm impressed it is with one exception
I believe that Donald Trump has earned the right to run this country for another term.
I think his platform and programs were absolutely fundamentally necessary for this country at the time.
I don't know how many others there are like myself but as much as I like you I will not vote for you in this next term I believe it is Donald's right to be our next president.
I've heard your feelings about vice and I'm very sorry about that
I really like Vivek. I don’t agree with all his ideas, but I think he is the best candidate.
Civics test for high school grads is a great idea.
He recognizes there is a mental health crisis in modern America, and it has been linked to many mass shootings. I hope he also considers creating some type of test or background check to purchase firearms, because it should not be easier to buy guns than to become a citizen, imo
Hi how are you doing?
On all the issued you have mentioned, Vivek is simply wrong.
He said Nationals must go through all tests that immegrants goes
@@featofdigit_guessing For all citizens, regardless of age, how about that ?
His understanding of international affairs and how they impact the US shows he's no better suited to the job than Trump. He's just not as hateful as Trump.
New banger
Why put only sound bites instead of the whole interview? Poor journalism.
Love this guy
The manner in which he speaks is highly promising. But for becoming the President first of all he has to beat Trump in the GOP race, who has the advantage of having a huge base of supporters which this guy doesn't have. If by chance, he manages to get selected as the choice of the Republican Party for the presidency, then beating the Democrats won't be a big deal for him, I guess.
Impression of real ethical values and thoughts inheritedly associated with Hinduism culture!!! America is now in need of this man..
Vivek2024 💐 🙏
Not sure i trust anyone that comes from nowhere and saying everything that folks want to hear.
Vivek is the best shot we have, but there's no way we are smart enough to eject him.
The American Covenant, by Timothy Ballard This series is a must-read. It supports your vision of America.
Reminds me of Marco Rubio. Before he got to Washington.
Talk is cheap, what's this guys past achievements in the political arena?
Bam!
This Hindu candidate doesn't have a snowball chance in hell of winning the 2024 presidential election in a Christian country.
bad judgement can be criminal if it is reckless or negligent, ie guy chooses to drink and drive and hits someone. he has to be more objective than that. his choices decide our fates. im thinking of running. im a poor white guy, with a conscience for me and those like me. any takers :)
Vivek ramaswamy 2024
Well spoken yet Trump 2024!! 😂
Time for Indians to rule the world ❤
As a Indian we want trump to be president not Ramaswamy
I like both but we need to win at all costs.
@@indiasupportstrumpwwg1wga927 lets see what happens

He is so ethical that he is going to deport himself first.

1:26 the only video I'd watch from USA today.
Would make very differn't... who wouldn't? Well, I mean. Who with even as little as a picogram of sense; who wouldnt?!
That a big NO !! Have you seen how they eun things in india ??!
Acting smart ass - Vivek Ramasam-wy it has happened in the USA almost 2 decades ago and before that pearl harbour in the 40's
Love Vivek, but not sure he should mention laying off government workers. It’s possible many of those federal workers might not be his voters, but…
Thats what I respect about him! He might layoff a million government employees, almost all of which are registered voters, but he open admits it because it's the right thing to do.
Trumps already Made America great we'll do it again. No more talk you know what to do the wicked will run away a Trump/Vivek ticket 2024❤🇺🇸🙏🦁🎉😊👍
Y'all knows Trump is best, those who voted for Biden regretted
President Ramaswamy is coming!!!
I legit came looking for this dudes platform and I hear make teens take a test teens to teach value or investment in their country (why should this be specific to teens and not every American) make 75% of federal employees jobless ( you are kidding yourself if you think the majority hit by this wont be middle class workers) Find our future in the past which just isnt an idea that sits right with me you look to the past normally to not repeat it or to do it better not to do it the same
Be careful American Abraham Lincoln every day he prayed and led America ,Vivek is not intrested in Christianity,,,,shame citizens who print we Trust in God in d dollars❤,,,,
3x CHOICES: TRUMP/RAMASWAMY ~ RAMASWAMY/GABBARD or RAMASWAMY/KENNEDY = 2024
Is he American or Indian?
Oh if he’d just stop and would be vice president with trump that’s what I thought he was at first ha but oh welll here we go
2024
How come Indians should be president of India
He looks Mexican
Vivek Rassffdsgsdfsdfsyfr or however you say his name? how do we know he won't betray us for India?
There is the true Red blood American
Vivek is a RINO
Trump 2024!!!!
I wanna run for president 2😂
The path it sends us on as a political party… Not a country 😬 Otherwise, he’s the most reasonable sounding Republican candidate, at least he gives concise answers
Dangerous
To the Dems
@@bmniac we can't have a maga conspiracy theorist as president
If we are raising the voting age, we should also institute a voting age cap of 65 unless the old people pass the same citizenship test. We really don't need ignorant or senile old folks voting away the long term health of this country to make their final days easier. There should also be a civics test mandatory for elected official. People who want to terminate the constitution should be ruled unfit to serve.
EVERYTHING IS A JOKE TO YOU PEOPLE
Ivan malayali ano?
what is wrong with this guy . you have to apply to be citizen to your own country . how about if you fail their test . their vision of what you suppose to be . they gonna send you to south pole . internalize you in a camp . this is fascism. this guy is a psychopath. if we fellow his reasoning , he himself will never make it . or because he is on top now , he wants to change the rules of the game.
I understand that he scored between Sociopath leaning towards Psychopath in his test scores not surprising.
He sounds like a mixture of Marco Rubio and Andrew Yang, hes gonna be crushed by Christie in the debates!
He is a joke
Less than a year into US involvement in World War II, President Roosevelt and his administration faced a dilemma: of the 20 million eligible men who registered for the draft, 50 percent were rejected either for health reasons or because they were deemed illiterate. On November 11, 1942, Congress approved lowering the minimum draft age to 18 and raising the maximum to 37. Soon after, the slogan “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” was born.
In 1943, Georgia became the first state to lower the voting age for state and local elections to 18, with Kentucky following suit in 1955.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his 1954 State of the Union address:
“For years our citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 have, in time of peril, been summoned to fight for America. They should participate in the political process that produces this fateful summons. I urge Congress to propose to the States a constitutional amendment permitting citizens to vote when they reach the age of 18.” Still, it would not be until much of the American public became disillusioned by the lengthy and costly war in Vietnam in the mid 1960s that the movement gained widespread public support.
“Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” appeared in protest signs and chants. men between the ages of 18 and 20 feared their draft numbers being called despite having no say in electing their representation. On March 10, 1971, the Senate voted unanimously in favor of a Constitutional amendment lowering the voting age to 18, followed by an overwhelming majority of the House voting in favor on March 23.
And Ramaswamy thinks he's smart, so we should just sit back and let him do this? No. Not in a million years.
Ignorant. Read What He Actually Said. He Said That
1) If You Are 18 Years Old And Are Just A Normal Kid, Not Working, Not In The Military, Then If You Want To Vote, Pass The Citizenship Test. Otherwise Don't Vote.
2) If You're 18 And In The Forces/Working You Can Vote.
3) In Anu Case, After Being 21/25, Everyone Can Vote
So, it was not that people thought 18 year olds were political geniuses, which they certainly are not. Buy only a knee jerk reaction to Vietnam. I would never have 18 year olds choose the direction of my company, nor my country. Devil is in the details, but definitely a novel idea.
Sounds to me like FDR was a bloodthirsty tyrant and that we should eliminate the draft altogether.
snake oil salesman or used car salesman???

Read the details not just the headlines - every 18 year old will be eligible to vote if:
1. they have passed the civics test that new immigrants are required to take
2. they are serving in the miltary
3. they have been a first responder for at least six months.
If not, they can vote at age 25 after they have had seven years of being an adult from age 18 to 25.
@@grizzlyjp but yet this guy has never served one day in the military or public service of any kind, or voted until 2020. I’ve always said if you never vote you are a part of the problem. He’s a hypocrite….
Do you know how many immigrants actually pay someone to take the test for them ? That’s a whole business and organization and itself, FRAUD! Our children that will one day become adults, have the right to vote without any kind of loops or hurdles. They change one thing, and you will slowly see other things change. That’s what communist and authoritarians do…..
