Vivek Ramaswamy on RFK Jr. and Trump Administration

Vivek Ramaswamy has responded to former President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., suggesting that Kennedy could play a significant role in shaping U.S. pandemic policies if he were to drop out of the 2024 race and endorse Trump. Ramaswamy, while speaking to Fox News Digital, refrained from detailing specific plans but acknowledged Kennedy's critical stance on COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which has drawn criticism from some liberal circles. He emphasized the need to rectify past COVID policies, particularly those affecting military personnel. Ramaswamy highlighted the importance of addressing the adverse effects of vaccines that may have been underreported, indicating that Kennedy's insights could be valuable in this area. He noted that Kennedy's potential contributions could help correct the perceived wrongs associated with previous pandemic responses. This discussion comes as Kennedy prepares to make a significant announcement, with speculation surrounding his possible withdrawal from the race. Trump has praised Kennedy, calling him "brilliant" and expressing openness to having him in his administration if he decides to endorse Trump. Meanwhile, Ramaswamy is contemplating his political future, particularly in light of potential vacancies in Ohio's political landscape. He mentioned that he is being encouraged to consider statewide elected roles, including a possible run for governor, especially as discussions about Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, continue to unfold. As the political dynamics shift, Ramaswamy's comments reflect a broader conversation about the future of the Republican Party and the potential alliances that could shape the upcoming election.
