Vivek Was Playing a Role
I think Vivek was always on Trump’s side.
That brief media scuffle was just theater the day before the primary to create the illusion of distance. Vivek always knew he was going to endorse Trump and Trump is already singing his praises. Vivek staying in the race for Iowa was just a formality.
Vivek’s job was to be the Trump stand-in and articulate Trump’s agenda effectively to a broader audience that have been turned off by Trump himself. He woke up a lot of people this way and garnered a lot of support, which he has now transferred to Trump via endorsement.
Vivek did his job and I hope he can find himself a role in the Trump administration, because he is as sharp as they come and I am excited about him in the future if he proves he is for real.
DeSantis and Haley however… it’s war.
Ambassador to India? Sure as heck not the head of CDC. The dude is big pharma no matter what his "role" is.
