Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been leading the 2024 campaign with a remarkable 42 stops this week, the highest among candidates. Despite the logistical challenges, Ramaswamy remains motivated by the energetic crowds in Iowa, emphasizing that he is campaigning caffeine-free. The 38-year-old entrepreneur appreciates the earnestness of people attending his events, building a community and movement that transcends traditional campaign methods.
Ramaswamy values grassroots engagement, expressing a preference for connecting with caucusgoers in Pizza Ranches across the state rather than participating in cloistered mega-donor retreats. He attributes his success to a strong work ethic, emphasizing that luck is spelled W-O-R-K, a formula that has consistently worked throughout his academic, professional, and entrepreneurial journey.
While Ramaswamy’s intensive schedule may seem demanding, his team views it as essential for success as voters prepare to choose candidates in less than a month. Tricia McLaughlin, senior advisor and communications director for Ramaswamy, believes this approach is necessary to surprise and challenge the system, expressing confidence in being responsive and connected to the people they aim to represent.
