Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t a household name yet, but thanks to his bold ideas and early entry into the 2024 Republican presidential race, that could soon change. Since announcing his run for the White House last month, Ramaswamy has been making headlines with his decidedly non-establishment campaign agenda, which includes dismantling several federal agencies, including the FBI.
Ramaswamy spoke this past weekend at CPAC, the annual gathering of conservatives that is typically an important campaign stop for presidential candidates who hope to snag the Republican nomination. Donald Trump was there this year, as was Nikki Haley. Notable absences included Ron DeSantis and Mike Pence, who have yet to announce if they will be throwing their hats into the ring.
In looking to set himself apart from the rest of the field, Ramaswamy is willing to take on Trump and highlight what he sees as the former president’s weaknesses. Trump’s failure to repeal Executive Order 11246, an affirmative action policy signed by Lyndon B. Johnson back in 1965, is one area where Ramaswamy is hitting Trump hard, saying Trump “could have ended affirmative action with the stroke of a pen. He didn’t.”
