Conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has caught up to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a first national poll, a surprising tie as both are preparing to join in 2024’s first primary debate next month.

In the survey of likely Republican primary voters, Ramaswamy and DeSantis are tied at 12%, with former President Donald Trump continuing to dominate at 48%.

“Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” said pollster Doug Kaplan.

This is not a big surprise. I was impressed with him in this interview and for me, that’s saying something.

It’s not a problem - DeSanchez thinks he’s winning or at least 2nd place

Ramaswamy is at best a high school debater. He has no life experience, is inauthentic, and has no cultural understanding of the US or our constitution. People are simply humoring him.

Wow, DeSantis has to be thinking: WHY THE HELL did I ever listen to those guys (the Globalists/Neocons)?

Unlike Trump and De Santis, Ramaswamy could win the General Election.

Go Vivek!

LOL. Let’s see, out of the 3, one actually has one a general presidential election before. One has at least won a general election for a state-wide office. And one... well maybe he won class president in grammar school or something, I dunno.

Just like DeSantos, who's never held career outside government. A lawyer turned career professional politician can't even relate to private sector people.

He was handling the liberal press pretty good, early on. Now he is all the decades old talking points.

um... OK I bet they all will

You forget that DeSantis, unique among all of the candidates, served honorably in the military, even earning a Bronze Star.

Now he’s attacking Trump for “bad judgment.”

Two rabidly liberal scumbag colleges. That’s enough to make me suspicious right off the bat.

Where did you see him at? I saw him at Minden recently, very good. You can watch the CNN interview with Jake Tapper, which was great. DeSantis speaks clearly, he's engaged and energetic, very detailed in responses, and nothing wrong except, I'm sure for you that he's not Donald Trump.

Here's the link to that CNN interview, give it a quick watch. He's a real conservative, not a RINO, not GOPe. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4168848/posts and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHKmWzd23Hw

Born, raised and educated in the US and a successful businessman, he has just as much experience in politics as Trump had when he ran.

He has no life experience.

Yeah, none. But, he co-founded Campus Venture Network, a technology company that provided software and networking resources to university entrepreneurs. Then he was a partner at QVT after he sold CVN. The specialized in the biotech sector at QVT and parlayed that knowledge to found the pharmaceutical company Roivant Sciences. In April 2023, Forbes estimated his net worth at $630 million; his wealth comes from his biotech and pharmaceutical companies. But he has no life experience. /s

Try harder.
