It has been noted that on Tuesday conservative commentator, Tucker Carlson, showed his support for Vivek Ramaswamy as a potential Vice Presidential candidate alongside former President Donald Trump. Carlson emphasized on Vivek’s evolution on the campaign trail, noting a significant shift towards authenticity in his positions.
“I kind of like Vivek,” Carlson stated, acknowledging the criticism Vivek often faces. “I think he’s one of those people who everyone beats up on… for being he’s a phony and all this stuff.”
“I feel like Vivek’s positions have gotten much more sincere since the beginning of this.”
“I watch him with Nikki Haley and I’m like, ‘this is a guy who’s very offended by her views.’ He’s not attacking her because she’s a woman, he’s attacking her because he actually thinks her views are terrible for the country he lives in. And I love that,” Carlson finished.
Ramaswamy, who is an entrepreneur known for his “anti-woke” stance, has stood outside the traditional political spectrum of roles. Nevertheless, he has often emerged in discussions as a possible Vice Presidential choice for Trump.
Their past interactions, including dinners and meetings, coupled with Trump’s positive remarks about Ramaswamy’s unwavering support, have fueled speculation about his potential involvement in a Trump-led administration, possibly as a running mate.
It has come to light that the endorsement from a figure like Carlson holds weight in Republican circles. Carlson’s comments come at a crucial time as the Republican party prepares for the upcoming election cycle.
With speculation about Trump’s potential running mate intensifying, Vivek’s political stance may position himself as a strong candidate in the race for the Vice Presidency.
In contrast, Carlson has declared his opposition to Trump’s re-election campaign if Haley was to be selected as his Vice Presidential candidate. Carlson has criticized Haley for being, in his view, contrary to the country’s interests, labeling her addition to the ticket as detrimental.
