Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate in the upcoming race, has been diligently campaigning throughout Iowa despite being considered a long shot. While other candidates like Ron DeSantis have traversed the entirety of the Hawkeye State, Ramaswamy has gone above and beyond by visiting all 99 counties not once, but twice. In the days leading up to tonight's event, he expressed confidence in surpassing expectations and defying the polling data.
Throughout his campaign, Ramaswamy has shown great admiration for former President Trump, positioning himself as a candidate capable of upholding the principles of the 'America first' ideology. However, just a few days ago, Former President Trump unexpectedly turned his attention and criticism towards Ramaswamy, declaring that a vote for him would be a waste. Some speculate that this could be an indication of the former president's concern that Ramaswamy may encroach upon his base of support.
