Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday, February 22.
“We’ve celebrated our ‘diversity’ so much that we forgot all the ways we’re really the same as Americans, bound by ideals that united a divided, headstrong group of people 250 years ago. I believe deep in my bones those ideals still exist. I’m running for President to revive them,” Ramaswamy said in a series of tweets.
