Vivek Ramaswamy: Trump should select who he thinks is best for VP running mate

The former presidential candidate talked to 11Alive ahead of the Biden-Trump debate in Atlanta.

[@VengerSatanis]

Vivek would make a terrific Vice-President.

[@shanemorin499]

Vivek is going to inherit a lot of Trump's base after he's done. Vivek 2028

[@nelsona8285]

Vivek was the first one to call it...Biden will not be the Democrat nominee. What I don't understand is why the Trump team allowed a debate so early. Now the DNC can change horses mid race for a candidate that will get Democrats excited about voting in the presidential election. I think this was an error, but Vivek did call it. Biden will not be the Democrat nominee!!!!

[@fairchildr91248]

100% agree, and he knows it he also knows that it's him and a few others that can take on the legacy of Freedom after Trump there's not very many people left in either party after that

@@nelsona8285 Trump isn't that bright. Sorry, the days of me thinking Trump was playing 4D chess are gone. I do not Trust the Plan.

[@nelsona8285]

@@GeneJohnson-vy2ci I don't understand your comment. My comment was that I think Vivek Ramaswamy is EXTREMELY bright and insightful. I think it was a bad move for the Trump team to agree to first debate before August. We'll see if Vivek was right after the DNC Convention.

[@GeneJohnson-vy2ci]

@@nelsona8285 Trump has made serious mistakes during his administration and now during his campaign. He should have never had this debate so early with time for the Democrats to put someone else in. Should have at least waited until October when it would have been too late for the Democrats to do anything about Biden.

[@traymac11]

I am truly praying for Vivek to be his VP!

[@ragnong9680]

He just admitted it's not him. He said, "he hasn't asked me to be VP". And inside Trump circles the decision has apparently already been made.

Vivek 4yr VP + 8yr President. Our nations last hope

[@PROTAGONIST_48]

12 years of Vivek in the White House would be great!

[@understanding.everything]

It's Tulsi by the way

[@JC-kz3ut]

I preferred Vivek over Trump. Trump has a libertarian vision, but he wants to do it in moderation whilst maintaining the integrity of the establishment. Vivek was brutally honest that he doesn't give a fuck and wants to smash the administrative state in its entirety. Fuck the Federal government; Vivek, do your thing when you're in office.

[@ariyanbista5837]

So basically act like a dictator?

[@JC-kz3ut]

@@ariyanbista5837 Having a libertarian sized Federal government is completely mutually exclusive with the question of dictatorship. In fact, having a larger Federal government, who aren't voted for, is a tool for more dictatorship.

[@tommybrasco1]

It’s not being a dictator in the sense you use the word, but yes dictating and suggesting a change to the massive bureaucracy that is the government and improving and consolidating agencies and ministries

[@Chris-kc7ee]

Vivek should be careful with what he wishes for. He needs feedback that loosens his stubbornness not everything has to be about Trump.. or even presidency for that matter. He could be a head of the department of education or secretary of the state

[@miletello1]

MAGASWAMY 2024

No, that’s for 2028. For now it’s Trumpaswamy 2024.

[@Happyharold666]

Vivek we need you as VP. Please god let Trump put his ego aside and do this

[@user-343-8fx]

Nah not gonna happen, we have 2 shit choices, among which trump is lesser evil, thats as far as his IQ goes, his ego is too huge as he thinks he is reincarnation of jesus as he said.

[@Youtuber-xs9cp]

It is not just Trump.. VP is high position with alot of power. There are alot of Republican who are very persuasive abd very close to Trump that want the position and will ready to be Trump's "yes man" like JD Vance or "Yes Woman" in case of Stefanik. But Vivek is better choice. Out of the candidate Vivek seems is the only one that will 100% pardon Trump if the far left Jailed him(as vice-president acting president). So if Vivek is chosen and Biden in DNC ticket. DNC has to resort to the last option--which is voting machine reset. but if the margin in polls too high, It will make very hard to hide the reset.

[@Happyharold666]

No Doug whatever or Tim Scott ( sweet but goofy). We NEED VIVEK

[@JayCity10]

Just compromise then. Vivek is the VP. Have Doug Bergum as Energy Secretary, and Tim Scott as HUD Secretary. Dr. Ben Carson as Human and Health Services Secretary. Also I would have Alina Habba, as Whitehouse Counselor, Karoline Leavitt as Press Secretary, Tulsi Gabbard as Sec of State, Kash Patel as Attorney General, Tom Cotton as Sec of Defense, Tom Homan as Homeland Secretary. Their are others, but here, you have a blend of MAGA, Independent, and Establishment Conservatism.

[@Rose-zz2rw]

VIVEK FOR VICE PRESIDENT!

Vivek is a Jr. Trump. Vivek for VP.

[@shanemorin499]

That's why he won't pick him.

[@db2466]

Indeed he is!

[@wheelmanstan]

they'd compliment each other so well..he has what Trump doesn't or lacks and they're also very alike, would be a killer ticket and campaign

[@appawin9331]

I hope Vivek will be in Trump’s cabinet in some capacity. Like Dr. Carson, Vivek has lots to contribute to America. He is also NOT A CAREER politician 🎉

[@davidmontroy3408]

If not as VPOTUS, appoint him as secretary of Interior, or another position to capitalize on his strengths. Appoint Elon Musk as chair of Federal Reserve while at it.

[@gregoryuschold3870]

Yes Ben is a very solid individual.

[@darkfireguy]

​@@davidmontroy3408 Elon wouldn't be a good fit. He was trying to get a 40 billion dollar pay package out of Tesla. Thankfully courts are siding with shareholders. I used to be an Elon believer but he's been showing a lack of care in his actions.

[@fayeg3026]

Vivek has great answers always! Humble man. Whoever gets picked as VP is fine for him. That should be the spirit of every politician! I pray he is offered the job best suited for him!

[@Chris-kc7ee]

At least he *does* reconcile with dropping out of the President race. More politicians should think like him.

I agree that Donald J Trump should pick whoever he decides is best. I have a preference, but that's not anyone's business. I also wish ALL the campaigns would make good choices - because competitiveness matters more to me that the voters or the country.

[@thomastessier4529]

Every presidential candidate should pick a VP based on how good of a president would they be if something were to happen to them.

[@pingpong9656]

Vivek VP would TURBOCHARGE Trump... get the job done!

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Would be an awesome choice! Could potentially secure the next 12 years!✌️

[@UnientityYoutube]

I would love Vivek to be VP however, Trump needs someone stronger. Someone who can lead a country. I think Burgum is that man. He has incredible strength. I think Vance is too young. My favorite is Byron Donald only because he is from Brooklyn like myself. He also is incredibly strong as well. He is my absolutely favorite however, Burgum has the leadership that Trump needs during the VP debates.

[@amine15777]

Vivek for vp

[@sirmartin9629]

he hasn't been asked, but that doesn't matter, haha, it's just "hey vivek, I've decided I want you to be my vp, what do you think?", trump's already vetted these guys and has heard vivek's desire to be vp and knows they ALL want to be vp, imo vivek's only way into the oval office is through vp or cabinet, he's not the type to run over and over hoping he wins the nomination, he's a star and though he has empty space on his resume..the guy just has the IT factor

[@user-en4pn8cm8l]

Yeah Vivek be the vice president

[@JoJo-vv9rs]

We're going to need Vivek in other positions in the white house plus he is also going to be helpful in getting the young people on board and educated on what Trump can do for our country and has done. And after Trump is gone then the vet is most definitely going to have a huge chance of becoming our 2028 President of the United States of America

[@BrianKPatton]

Is Vivek the perfect VP pick? No. But I think he would be an excellent choice. People may say he is the best choice for checking the boxes of DEI, however that's just a bonus. Unlike the current administration that ranks DEI over skillset or knowledge, Vivek comes across as patient, knowledgeable and more of a moderate conservative. Cut the crap, do things that actually make sense, communicate with the American people and international community, and put America and Americans first. Can't think of too many other contenders. Not viable ones. With the exception of Sarah Sanders. She's proven. I could see a Trump/Ramaswamy ticket, with Sanders in the cabinet, followed by a Ramaswamy/Sanders ticket in 2028-2032.
