Vivek Ramaswamy discusses selection of JD Vance as Donald Trump's 2024 running mate

Vivek Ramaswamy has spoken with Sky News Washington Correspondent Annelise Nielsen about the selection of JD Vance who was revealed as Donald Trump's running mate during the Republican National Convention.
Mr Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate, said JD Vance is an "outstanding pick" to be Donald Trump's running mate.
"I do think he's going to be an excellent Vice President," Mr Ramaswamy said.

Love Vivek! ❤ Congratulations J.D. Vance!😊

Interestingly, JD Vance is married to a Hindu classmate at Yale Law, Usha, whose parents also immigrated from India. More interestingly, Vance's middle child is also named Vivek. Vivek Ramaswamy's surgeon wife, Apoorva, was studying at Yale Med while the Vances and Vivek were studying at Yale Law. Vivek and JD are same age and grew up in Cincinnati Ohio. Vivek is now based in Columbus, where his wife is throat surgeon at the cancer hospital of Ohio State University.

Vivek is now based in Columbus, where his wife is throat surgeon at the cancer hospital of Ohio State University. Usha and Apoorva are good friends. The fact is that Vivek is too independent minded and outspoken, and therefore would have clashed as VP with Trump, who is too egotistical and unpredictable. Vivek's ethnicity and religion could be unpalatable to Christian right and MAGA base of Trump. JD is a solid Christian family man, and has won a state wide senate seat. Vivek is absolutely brilliant and eloquent, but has to win the trust of Republican Christian right and win a major statewide election.
