Fox News host Sean Hannity asked a 2024 Republican candidate for president a question that has stumped other contenders this week: what makes you different from former President Donald Trump?
Vivek Ramaswamy, a millionaire biotech entrepreneur who has established himself as a prominent critic of “woke culture” in regular Fox News appearances, appeared on Hannity Thursday night to discuss his longshot bid for the presidency.
“You’re looking for the Republican nomination,” Hannity said to his guest. “Probably the leader right now would be Donald Trump if you look a the polls. What are the policy differences you have between yourself and Donald Trump?”
Other candidates have had trouble with that question, no doubt out of fear of angering Trump’s base or even the president himself, who has shown little hesitancy to blast the competition on his social media platform.
“First of all, Donald Trump is a friend,” Ramaswamy said. “I am not running against him. I’m running on a vision for our nation.”
Hannity jumped in: “Wait, wait. But you’re not running for him. You’re running against him. Let’s be honest.”
As the live Hannity crowd laughed, Ramaswamy gave the question a second try.
“He was the OG America first. I am taking about taking that to the next level with America First 2.0,” he said. “Let’s get the job done, which means dismantling federal bureaucracy.”
Ramaswamy proposed “eight-year sunset clauses for anybody in the federal bureaucracy” and completely shutting down federal agencies, including the Department of Education.
“So I think it’s about taking it to the next level,” Ramaswamy said.
Not exactly a policy difference, but an answer.

He’s a top WEF darling.
He has spent days scrubbing his social media of his scorn for MAGA supporters. Not MAGA — MAGA supporters; that would be us.
He has some good ideas and he can be effective in other positions.
That’s an excellent example. I’m a Yankee thru and thru, but half of my family is from the south and it’s not just a generation or two. It goes back to the 1600’s in some branches of the family tree. There’s a lot of subtle complexities built into family history and traditions. More importantly, those family histories correspond with American history. It’s what makes me the American that I am. I don’t want that history to be rewritten or forgotten because it rewrites who I am.
Its been several days since I have seen any mention of Hannity on the FR. That was nice.
Hannity who?
I attended a quilt show here in eastern TN a few years ago. One quilt was a family tree type, made by a woman who had ancestors both Yankee and Confederate. It was beautiful, and very touching/sad. Brother fighting brother, cousins...
