Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy told The National Pulse’s ‘The Campaign Trail’ podcast this weekend that he is not interested in being anyone’s Vice President pick, claiming he is in the Republican primary to win, and will pursue other avenues of making change in America if he does not make it to the Oval Office himself.
“I’m not interested in an ‘observatory role’,” Ramaswamy began, in response to Raheem Kassam’s question: “What if it’s not a cabinet position, but based over at the Naval Observatory – the vice presidency?”
Ramaswamy continued: “…if I’m not successful, I’m gonna change this country in other ways as I have been, in the private sector, I’ve been cranking out a book every six to eight months, I travel the country, I’ve built successful businesses, I think there’s many ways to drive changes in this country.”
“The opportunity to drive change from the White House is actually what pulled me into this race and I gotta be honest with you, my gut instinct… suggests to me that we’re gonna be not only successful in winning the election, but I think winning it in a Reagan-style, 1980s-style landslide.”
