The report quoted Trump saying that he likes Vivek Ramaswamy as he has only nice things to say about him and all the work carried out by the Trump administration.
"I am pleased to see that Vivek Ramaswamy is doing so well in the most recent Republican Primary Poll, CBS YouGov," Trump was quoted in the report as having said.
"He is tied with Mike Pence, and seems to be on his way to catching Ron DeSanctimonious. The thing I like about Vivek is that he only has good things to say about ‘President Trump,’ and all that the Trump Administration has so successfully done - This is the reason he is doing so well. In any event, good luck to all of them, they will need it!," Trump was quoted as having said.
Earlier, Ramaswamy announced his 2024 US Presidential election bid.
"We've celebrated our ‘diversity’ so much that we forgot all the ways we're really the same as Americans, bound by ideals that united a divided, headstrong group of people 250 years ago. I believe deep in my bones those ideals still exist. I'm running for President to revive them," Ramaswamy had said.
"Faith, patriotism and hard work have disappeared. Wokeism, climatism and gender ideology have replaced them. We hunger for purpose yet cannot answer what it means to be an American. We long for that answer," Ramaswamy had added.
“In CBS News/YouGov survey of likely Republican primary voters, Ramaswamy was slightly ahead of former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley,” report mentioned.
Ramaswamy is a native of southwest Ohio.
“His mother was a geriatric psychiatrist and his father worked as an engineer at General Electric,” it mentioned.
Vivek Ramaswamy is the second Indian-American to enter the 2024 Republican presidential primary after Nikki Haley.
