Another Republican is eyeing the 2024 presidential nomination as entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy plans to try and use his 'anti-wokeism' to pull off what Donald Trump did in 2016.
The 37-year-old millionaire has been dubbed the 'CEO of Anti-Woke Inc.' and has signaled interest like most who want the presidency – by visiting the first primary caucus state of Iowa.
Ramaswamy went to Des Moines, Iowa for a dinner last month to speak to a crowd of dozens of the midwestern state's agricultural big wigs and spread his message about the threat of 'woke capitalism.'
The rising right-wing star, who made his money in biotech and is the son of Indian immigrants, has pounced on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, which is something that has become popular among Republicans, business leaders and farmers
The interest from the best-selling author comes as several big and small names on the right are signaling interest in the 2024 Republican nominating contest.
Former President Donald Trump is the only one so far to make an official bid for president this cycle, announcing his intent for a third White House campaign in mid-November.
Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and Trump-era Ambassador to the United Nations, will become the second with her official announcement in her home state's capital city on Wednesday.

President Ramaswamy ?.............................🤔
Another Deep Stater.
Quelle suprise.
Check out his business backround.
Checked out his biography. It’s pretty impressive.
He’s definitely conservative and anti-ESG.
Co-founder of Strive Asset Management, which according to Wikipedia is “established to offer an alternative to larger asset managers like BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard, which Ramaswamy has criticized for engaging in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities, and mixing business with politics to the detriment of shareholders.”
It’s good to see the bench is a bit deeper than we thought.
And yes, he’s natural born citizen, he was born and raised in Cincinnati.
“I’m fed up with corporate America’s game of pretending to care about justice in order to make money. It is quietly wreaking havoc on American democracy.” This is a quote by Vivek Ramaswamy. I stopped reading about him right there. This country is not a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. When someone calls this nation a democracy...that spells Democrat to me, especially these days. Or someone who doesn’t know what our country stands for.
Wake me when the shuttle lands.
This guy could get into the tenths of a percent if he gets serious!
That’ll probably work in his favor.
Another tool in the race for last place.
These other Republican candidates will become the attack dogs to make it harder for the left to concentrate fire on Trump. Smart.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Anti-woke people evidently don't have a grip on the federal government's constitutionally limited powers any better than woke people do.
Hundreds of millions of voters probably do not understand the federal government's constitutionally limited powers any better than Mr. Ramaswamy does.
Mentioned elsewhere, the Oval Office is not the most powerful peacetime office in the land like FN wants everybody to believe imo.
If Gov. DeSantis for example, or any other governor wants to serve as many people as they can under the Constitution, then they need to keep their governor jobs instead of taking the state powers that they used to make their states thrive to constitutionally limited power Oval Office.
State powers don't belong in the Oval Office.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphases added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
The main reason that we have unconstitutionally big federal government imo is because everybody the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties trick voters to elect to DC are clueless about (blatantly ignore?) the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.
Patriots, what is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
Met him when he was a teenager. He was impressive then, and has a lot of potential to be president someday - but wish he would start by taking on Senator Sherrod Brown next year instead of wasting time. He’s been on Fox News a lot.
This might be an attempt to get visibility and maybe the goal isn’t POTUS right now.
He’s been on Fox News a lot.So has Lindsey Graham. So what?
If he's welcomed by Ryan, Cavuto, Levin, Tucker and the Murdochs etc. I'm out.
The only people welcome at Murdoch News are outspoken never-Trumpers and vile liberals to spew their bile.
Read his first book when it came out. This is one smart conservative young businessman.
ANOTHER who is NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN???
SPARE US
Vivek Ramaswamy...
