Ramaswamy Drops Out of Presidential Race, Endorses Trump

The decision comes after a disappointing performance in the Iowa Republican caucuses and public criticism from Trump.

Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American entrepreneur and political newcomer, has dropped out of the 2024 US presidential race after a disappointing performance in the Iowa Republican caucuses.
Ramaswamy, who had been gaining attention among Republican voters with his strong opinions on immigration and America-first approach, finished fourth in Iowa, securing around 7.7% of the votes.
Prior to the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump publicly denounced Ramaswamy, labeling him a 'fraud' and asserting that a vote for him was a vote for the 'other side.'
Despite the criticism, Ramaswamy refused to attack Trump in response, instead blaming the attacks on Trump's advisers.
Following his withdrawal, Ramaswamy has announced his full endorsement for Trump, who emerged triumphant in Iowa, solidifying his position as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
