Donald Trump is confident he will soon have another feather in his cap…
On Wednesday, Trump predicted Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will ultimately endorse him for President following reports Ramaswamy has canceled TV advertising ahead of the first primary contests.
“He will, I am sure, Endorse me. But Vivek is a good man, and is not done yet!” Trump wrote Wednesday on TruthSocial.
“We are focused on bringing out the voters we’ve identified — best way to reach them is using addressable advertising, mail, text, live calls and doors to communicate with our voters on Vivek’s vision for America, making their plan to caucus and turning them out,” Ramaswamy campaign press secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Tuesday statement.
Ramaswamy’s praise of the former president has fueled speculation that the biotech entrepreneur is eying a spot on a potential Trump ticket as vice president.
On Sunday, Ramaswamy expressed some hesitancy over the prospect of taking a position in a second Trump administration telling Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo, “I didn’t get where I am, [his wife, Apoorva Ramaswamy] didn’t get to where she is by being ‘Plan B people,’ and so I’m actually confident we’re going to overdeliver massively at the Iowa caucus.”
Trump, meanwhile, said in August that Ramaswamy would be “very good” as a running mate, adding, “Anybody that said I’m the best president in a generation … I have to like a guy like that.”
Ramaswamy has struggled to maintain momentum in the Republican primary race after briefly surging in the polls this summer.
Vivek not so sure
Vivek would be a great VP bringing together more constituencies.
