Talk:Vivek Ramaswamy 2024 presidential campaign

Religion?

Why doesn't this page have anything about his religion, which has been reported by many WP:RS? Nbauman (talk) 18:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

If you have reliable sources discussing the role of Ramaswamy's religion in his presidential campaign, you can post them here. His religion is described in the Ramaswamy article in the sections Personal life and Early life and education. -- M.boli (talk) 19:37, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Support of President Donald Trump While some candidates, including Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson, openly criticize former president Donald Trump throughout his ongoing legal battles,[112][113][114] Ramaswamy both defends Trump[115] and levels unspecific criticism against the former president.[116] Trump praised Ramaswamy for saying 'only...good things about me', and the two men have met several times.[117]

Ramaswamy called Trump's indictment, The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, "a national disaster."[118] Regarding the 2023 jury verdict against Trump for sexual abuse in E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald J. Trump, Ramaswamy stated "this seems like just another part of the establishment's anaphylactic response."[119] Following the federal indictment of Donald Trump in June 2023, Ramaswamy vowed to give Trump a presidential pardon if elected.[120]

After Trump's social media accounts were suspended following the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Ramaswamy and Jed Rubenfeld co-wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed that called the attack "disgraceful", but argued that social media websites should be treated as state actors and that their ban of Trump violated the First Amendment.[16][121]

On January 13, 2024, Trump made a shocker on his social platform Truth Social alleging Vivek to be backstabbing him and saying he is not MAGA. Kunal393 (talk) 07:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Should the article be changed to past tense?

For example, instead of "he opposes abortion" it would say "he opposed abortion." NesserWiki (talk) 04:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Iowa campaign

Ramaswamy campaigned extensively in Iowa for almost a year, visiting every county twice [1][2] (which seems to be a trivia-worthy first), and focusing on atypical caucus voters [3], presumably to bet all on an upset victory that would transform into momentum for future primaries to make up for his relative lack of funds. Right now both this article and the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses article lack any info on his Iowa campaign whatsoever. jonas (talk) 08:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

 Done I agree. Iowa campaigning was a main effort. The result in Iowa was what ended his campaign. It definitely deserved mention. I added a paragraph to the lede. Even if the paragraph is moved elsewhere and expanded, the lede deserves a mention. -- M.boli (talk) 12:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Bias in the Writers

When referencing Ramaswamy's arguments on the president's authority to disband federal agencies, the added clause "Legal scholars say this is not true." should be removed. For one, it is not the job of wiki to refute the things that Ramaswamy has said. Only to record them. For two, it's completely arbitrary. You can find legal scholars who will argue that what Ramaswamy said is correct as well. Ultimately, neither's opinion matters, because the ones who determine whether or not the president has that power are the judges on the supreme court. Added "context" like this just shows how embarrassingly biased the writers of this article are. 152.7.255.239 (talk) 18:40, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
