Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy announces Republican bid for President in 2024

Washington, Feb 22 : Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American tech entrepreneur, announced that hes running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.In a short video launched on Tuesday, the 37-year-old said: Weve celebrated our diversity so much that we forgot all the ways were 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.Im running for President to revive them.

Were in the midst of a national identity crisis.Faith, patriotism & family are disappearing.

We embrace one secular religion after another -- from wokeism to climatism -- to satisfy our deeper need for meaning.Yet we cannot even answer what it means to be an American.The GOP can fill that void.E pluribus unum: from many, one.That is the dream that won the American Revolution; that reunited us after the Civil War, that won us two World Wars & the Cold War.That is the dream that still gives hope to the world.That is American exceptionalism.

Ramaswamy, whose parents immigrated from Vadakkencherry in Palakkad, Kerala, co-founded Strive Asset Management and currently serves as the Executive Chairman.Prior to Strive, he founded the biopharmaceutical company Roivant Sciences.

He is also the author of the books, Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate Americas Social Justice Scam, published in August 2021 and Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence, published in September 2022.Ramaswamy filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission earlier on Tuesday and is scheduled to speak at a Polk County Republican event in Iowa on Thursday.

The other Indian-American to launch her Republican presidential bid is Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina Governor and Permanent Representative to the UN #IndianAmerican #Vivek #Ramaswamy #Republican #Telugu #TeluguStop #Kerala #Malayalam #Mollywood #Vivek #Washington #Kerala #Palakkad #Bid #Washington #Photo.
