Biotech Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy quickly emerged as the black sheep of the first Republican debate stage and a darling of the MAGA movement Wednesday evening.
While attending Yale Law School, Ramaswamy worked as a hedge fund investor and claimed to have a net worth of around $15 million by the time he got his J.D. in 2013. The following year, he founded biotech company Roivant Sciences.to Forbes, making him the second-richest man on the debate stage Wednesday after North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.Some have dubbed Vivek Ramaswamy the Trump 2.0 candidate.Like many Americans, Ramaswamy was astounded by the rise of Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
He dismissed “the climate change agenda” as a hoax, argued against US aid for Ukraine, and promised to pardon Trump on his first day in office. “Hold on, I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT,” Christie jabbed at one point before noting Ramaswamy had stolen a line from Obama’s seminal 2004 Democratic National Convention speech during his opening statement: “Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name and what the heck is he doing in the middle of this debate stage?”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the only candidate consistently polling above Ramaswamy, remained above the fray, while Trump went so far as to crown him as the debate winner.
