Why Is Vivek Not in the Debate? Did Vivek Ramaswamy Drop Out?

Why Is Vivek Not in the Debate? Did Vivek Ramaswamy Drop Out?

In the exclusive club of over-aged people being the world leaders, a fresh perspective is as rare as finding what exactly was in Hilary Clinton’s emails. The age-old debate of the politician’s age has been prevalent in past campaigns as well.ย 

You would think this point of contention would give an edge to the younger presidential candidates. But it seems “experience” has more influence than the ‘new generation.’ Now, another one might bite the dust if he does not play by the books old school. 

You’ve probably heard of Vivek Ramaswamy, the Indian American businessman-turned-political novice shaking up the Republican landscape. Despite being a fresh face in politics, he’s the guy who has been rapidly climbing those national polls. But here’s the kicker: Ramaswamy didn’t show up at the latest GOP debate. Did he decide to throw in the towel, or is there more to this story?

Ramaswamy didn’t drop out of the race, folks. He simply didn’t meet the criteria set by CNN for the debate. To get on that stage, candidates needed at least 10% support in three national or Iowa-based polls. Ramaswamy’s numbers? Just shy at 7%. So, no, he’s not out, but he’s definitely on the sidelines for this round.

The Missing Piece: Vivek Ramaswamy’s Campaign Rollercoaster

Now, let’s dive a bit deeper. Ramaswamy’s journey has been anything but dull. From a pharmaceutical mogul to a presidential hopeful, his campaign’s been a whirlwind. Remember his interview with Russell Brand?ย 

He said, “I’m more similar to Trump in 2015 than Trump today is to Trump in 2015.” Bold statement, right? But it’s not just about imitating Trump; it’s about carving his own path in the GOP landscape.

His media appearances have been a mix of charm and controversy. Ramaswamy’s been a regular on news shows, especially those leaning right. His views? 

Let’s just say they’re pretty extreme. He’s attracted attention, no doubt about that. But with attention comes criticism. Chris Christie called him an “AI app,” and Nikki Haley wasn’t shy about criticizing his foreign policy chops.

Question to @VivekGRamaswamy on his town hall on @Timcast

โ€œHow can I vote for Vivek Ramaswamy without it sending the message that Iโ€™m ok with what they are doing to Trump?โ€

Vivekโ€™s answer is spot on. If you want to save Trump and save this country, vote for Vivek. #Vivek2024โ€ฆ pic.twitter.com/zmKE5AX9Yl

Hugh Gurdon of the Washington Examiner was even less kind, labeling Ramaswamy “the most tedious and superfluous candidate of all” โ€“ seems harsh, but that’s how cutthroat GOP has always been.ย 

But despite being excluded from the CNN debate, Ramaswamy’s campaign was far from silent. They aired a direct-to-camera ad, where Ramaswamy accused the mainstream media of censorship and rigging the GOP caucus.

Hereโ€™s the plot:
1. Narrow this to a 2-horse race between Trump & a puppet they can control.
2. Eliminate Trump.
3. Trot their puppet into the White House.

Prediction: next up, Ron DeSantis joins Nikki Haleyโ€™s ticket as VP. Ron may not know it yet, but he wonโ€™t have a say in theโ€ฆ pic.twitter.com/EZzWn4WVya

Ben Yoho, Ramaswamy’s campaign CEO, didn’t mince words either. He blasted CNN for excluding Vivek, calling them “the furthest thing from a credible news network.” But despite these fiery statements, Ramaswamy’s polling numbers tell a different story. He’s trailing behind Trump, DeSantis, and Haley, making his debate exclusion more about numbers than media bias.

Great moment from last nights press conference.

Vivek Ramaswamy takes a jab at the media when a young journalist asks about BRICS and the value of the dollar.

But let’s think about this: What does Ramaswamy’s absence mean for the GOP race? His campaign insists they’re still in the game, promising a strong showing in Iowa.

So, what do you think? Is Ramaswamy’s campaign a flash in the pan or a sign of things to come in GOP politics? Will he make a surprise comeback or fade into the background? 

Share your thoughts, and let’s keep this conversation going!
