Vivek Ramaswamy suspends campaign and endorses Trump

Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and author of "Woke, Inc.", announced Monday night he is suspending his presidential campaign.

"We did not achieve the surprise that we wanted to deliver tonight," he said.

Ramaswamy, who predicted to Axios in October a "solid second or third" finish in the Iowa caucuses, came in fourth in the first presidential contest. Former President Donald Trump dominated the caucuses. Ramaswamy has endorsed Trump for the nomination.

On the campaign trail, Ramaswamy tried to emphasize "America First" policies, a stance that has proven popular with supporters of Trump.

Campaigning to strip voting rights from younger voters, because he can't win their support for his horrific policies.

Pathetic second-string fascist.

Goodbye, good riddance.

The only purpose you served was to pull a handful of votes away from The Pustule.
