GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shared his thoughts Saturday about what topics and strategies Republicans should use while on the campaign trail in order to win in 2024.
In a one-minute video posted to Twitter over the weekend, Ramaswamy said in order to win the 2024 election “in a landslide,” Republican candidates must “stop talking about Joe Biden & start talking about our own vision.”
“That’s how you’ll get a repeat of the “red wave” that never came in 2022,” Ramaswamy said after explaining, “The people we elect to run the government aren’t the ones who actually run the government right now. It’s the managerial class in the deep state.
Ramaswamy then touted himself as the “only candidate” in the 2024 Republican primary so far that has offered “an affirmative agenda of our own” as well as “unprecedented detail” on how he would shut down “3-letter government agencies,” in which he branded as the “deep state” and “managerial class.”
The GOP presidential candidate said as president, he would “shut down” the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); Internal Revenue Service (IRS); Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); U.S. Department of Education; and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
“That is how we revive the economy and restore the integrity of a constitutional republic,” Ramaswamy explained.
“The sad truth is that the GOP right now is a party in search of an agenda. We blew the 2022 midterms because we acted like a bunch of partisan hacks spewing poll-tested platitudes about the “failed Biden agenda.” Well, we should expect the same fate in 2024 unless we level up & actually articulate what we stand *for.* I’m doing my part,” Ramaswamy concluded.
FiveThirtyEight’s national polling tracker, as of Thursday, August 3, shows former President Donald Trump in the lead with 53.3 percent of the vote compared to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ 14.3 percent and Vivek Ramaswamy’s 6.7 percent in the GOP primary.
