Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American entrepreneur, has dropped out of the 2024 US presidential race after finishing fourth in the Iowa Republican caucuses. He announced his support for Donald Trump and cited his strong opinions on immigration and America-first approach. Ramaswamy\'s campaign strategy mirrored that of former President Trump. However, Trump publicly denounced Ramaswamy, calling him a \'fraud\' and stating that a vote for him was a vote for the \'other side\'. Ramaswamy garnered attention and support among Republican voters but faced criticism from fellow Republican presidential hopefuls, like Nikki Haley.
