Overview

• Vivek Ramaswamy, a first-time political candidate, has transformed from a technocrat entrepreneur to a right-wing conspiracy theorist in a matter of months.
• Ramaswamy's campaign promises include shutting down the so-called Deep State, pardoning every peaceful Jan. 6 protester, and releasing the full Epstein client list.
• Despite spending nearly $30 million of his own fortune on his presidential campaign, Ramaswamy continues to poll in single digits ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
• Ramaswamy has been endorsed by Steve King, the controversial former Iowa congressman known for his racist remarks.
• Despite some Trump supporters suggesting Ramaswamy as a potential vice president pick, Trump's top adviser has stated that it is 'pretty safe to say it won’t be Vivek.'
