Vivek Ramaswamy suspends his 2024 Republican presidential bid and endorses rival Donald Trump
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has suspended his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, endorsing former President Donald Trump instead. This decision came after he finished fourth in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses and determined there was no path forward for his campaign. Ramaswamy, a first-time political candidate, had pitched himself as a Trump-like outsider, yet his controversial positions, including opposition to aid for Israel and Ukraine, made it difficult for him to gain traction within the party. Despite suspending his presidential bid, Ramaswamy said he would consider a vice presidential role if offered. His withdrawal highlights the continued dominance of Trump within the Republican Party.
