Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the 2024 Republican presidential race after finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses, has endorsed former President Donald Trump and called on Republican voters to elect an “America First patriot” as the next U.S. President. Ramaswamy made the announcement on social media platform X, stating that he is suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump. He also expressed his commitment to ensuring Trump’s victory. Ramaswamy acknowledged that there is no path for him to become the next president, and he believes that the country needs someone who prioritizes America’s interests. Despite his endorsement, Ramaswamy finished fourth in Iowa, behind Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Ramaswamy plans to join Trump at a rally in New Hampshire and expressed his pride in the team, the movement, and the country. He called Trump to congratulate him on his victory and pledged his full endorsement for the presidency. Ramaswamy’s campaign spokesperson expressed disappointment at the result and stated that they are assessing the situation for the next phase of the campaign. Trump, in his speech from campaign headquarters in Iowa, congratulated DeSantis, Haley, and Ramaswamy for their performances and praised their intelligence and capabilities. Ramaswamy had been a strong supporter of Trump, defending him against multiple indictments and vowing to pardon him if elected. However, according to CNN, Ramaswamy is projected to win only three out of 40 delegates in Iowa.
