Speaking to reporters after a campaign event in Iowa’s Ankeny, Ramaswamy said he “doesn’t hold it against” Trump that the former US President called his campaign “deceitful.”
Speaking to CNN, Ramaswamy said, “I interpret it as bad campaign strategist corporate consultant advice that he might have received, and so I don’t hold it against him. … He’s been a great president.”
Ramaswamy has said that Trump will not be able to secure victory in the general election due to his strong legal obstacles and political opposition, CNN reported.
Asked whether he believes the timing of Trump’s attack suggests the former president may feel threatened by his campaign, Ramaswamy refused to speculate on Trump’s intentions, CNN reported. However, he reiterated his belief that his campaign is witnessing a “late surge” in Iowa.
He said, “I can’t speak for anybody else’s attitude towards our campaign. What I can tell you is that you’d have to have your head stuck in that snow pile to believe that we’re not having a late surge here in this race,” according to CNN report.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s remarks come after Donald Trump launched an attack on party candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, calling his campaign “deceitful” and urging his supporters not to “waste” their vote on him. He said that the Indian American leader is not ‘MAGA’ (Make America Great Again) and a vote for him is a vote for the “other side.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, “the best President in generations,” etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks.”-TIN Bureau
