I saw today on TV that he will spend money in eight digits and not accept donor money
He looks very young. Spending his own money is no big deal. Rishi Sunak may have inspired him. There are a lot of Rich Indians on earth now.
According to his campaign website, Ramaswamy has a net worth of over $500 million, which he earned through his business ventures. He has pledged to spend over $100 million of his own money on his presidential campaign2. In the first quarter of 2023, he loaned his campaign $10.25 million and contributed another $297,250, making up the vast majority of the money he raised in that period3. He has also donated money to various causes, such as $10,000 to Daniel Penny’s legal defense fund4, a former New York Post reporter who was sued by Dominion Voting Systems for his reporting on the 2020 election.
Ramaswamy describes himself as a nationalist who believes that America needs to rebuild its sense of civic pride and identity. He rejects stakeholder theory, Big Tech censorship, critical race theory, and diversity as a strength. He advocates for free speech, meritocracy, the rule of law, and citizen empowerment. He also proposes to refocus foreign policy on China and the Mexican drug cartels, using military force if necessary5.
