Vivek Ramaswamy suspends campaign, endorses Trump

Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his campaign on Monday and endorsed former President Donald Trump following a fourth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

He plans to appear with Trump in New Hampshire at a Tuesday evening rally.

“There’s no path for me to be the next president absent things that we don’t want to see happen in this country,” he told supporters.

The wealthy biotech entrepreneur and longshot Republican presidential candidate drew outsized media attention with combative debate performances and by leaning into conspiracy theories around 9/11 and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He also defended Trump at every turn, calling him the greatest president of the 21st Century and vowing to pardon him.
