Wealthy Republican Candidate Vows to Rule by Executive Order If Elected

Vivek Ramaswamy, a 37-year-old businessman running for president in 2024, has pledged to invest heavily in his own campaign.
Ramaswamy opposes corporations advancing political and social causes and promises to curb affirmative action, limit the administrative state, use the military against drug cartels, raise the voting age, and confront China.
Ramaswamy's campaign accuses unelected officials of controlling the government and appeals to older Republicans who believe America has lost purpose.
Ramaswamy promises to eliminate the Education Department, destroy teachers' unions, and deploy troops to stop fentanyl imports across the border.
Though lacking experience and name recognition, Ramaswamy is drawing crowds by vowing to rule by decree.
