wake of a lackluster performance in Iowa’s inaugural caucuses, Vivek Ramaswamy has thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump, officially withdrawing from the presidential race.
Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old political newcomer who endeavored to mirror Trump’s ascent as a brash and affluent outsider, declared, “At this moment, we are suspending this presidential campaign. There is no viable path for me to secure the presidency without resorting to actions that we find undesirable for our nation.”
Throughout his campaign, Ramaswamy taunted his adversaries while lauding Trump as “the best president of the 21st century.” Nevertheless, he contended that Republicans should opt for a “fresh legs” approach and elevate the “America First” agenda to greater heights.

Despite his advocacy for a “revolution” and efforts to position himself as a contender to surpass Trump, Ramaswamy’s exit underscores the enduring dominance of the former president, who, at 77 years old and facing multiple criminal indictments, continues to command Republican politics. Trump remains the clear front-runner for the GOP nomination, poised for a potential third consecutive victory.
