Vivek Ramaswamy Endorsed By Former Iowa Rep. Steve King

Former Iowa Rep. Steve King has offered his endorsement of GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who he believes is “the strongest voice” for defending the Constitution of the United States. “I’ve been looking for the strongest voice we have that will defend our Constitution and restore the pillars of American exceptionalism.

That’s Vivek Ramaswamy,” he remarked. Mr. King also supports Mr. Ramaswamy’s position on constructing a wall along the U.S.–Canada border to combat the illegal trafficking of fentanyl into the United States, along with the U.S.–Mexico wall started by former President Donald Trump. “The strongest voice we have to defend our Constitution and to reestablish America’s destiny is Vivek Ramaswamy.” His controversial remarks sparked bipartisan calls for his removal from Congress, leading to the loss of his seats on committees and rendering him an ineffective representative for his constituents.

Despite that, Mr. Ramaswamy said he is “proud to have Steve King’s endorsement.” He believes that Mr. King has been “villainized by the media” following his remarks in 2019. “I just reject a lot of this mainstream media narrative thing,” he told reporters. On his endorsement, Mr. Ramaswamy said they found common cause in issues that other Republican candidates are afraid to speak out about, such as opposing carbon dioxide pipelines and the use of eminent domain to seize the land of innocent farmers.

Mr. Ramaswamy trails behind in fourth place with just 4 percent, according to the poll. He also recently placed fourth in the latest Emerson College poll in Iowa, which shows President Trump leading the way with 50 percent support among Republican caucus voters. Instead, his campaign is focusing on a different strategy to reach out to voters, such as addressable advertising, mail, text, live calls, and doors, according to a campaign representative.

Mr. Ramaswamy said that presidential TV ad spending is “idiotic,” comes with a low return on investment, and is a “trick that political consultants use to bamboozle candidates who suffer from low IQ.” “We’re doing it differently. Spending $$ in a way that follows data…apparently a crazy idea in US politics,” the GOP presidential candidate wrote on X on Dec.
