Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a captivating speech at the California Republican Party convention, positioning himself as the outsider in the 2024 presidential campaign. Despite speaking after the other three candidates, Ramaswamy drew a sizable crowd that gave him a standing ovation upon his entrance. As the tune of “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons played, attendees warmed up to Ramaswamy throughout his 30-minute address.
Ramaswamy, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, spoke at a luncheon during the convention on September 30, 2023. The event was attended by notable figures such as former President Donald Trump, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In a conversation with reporters, Ramaswamy spoke of his dissatisfaction with California policies and the Biden administration, but chose not to reference them in his speech. He emphasized the importance of offering an alternative vision rather than simply criticizing the opposition.
During his speech, Ramaswamy, an ally of Trump, touched on the ongoing “cultural civil war” in America and the displacement of free speech by a culture of fear. Attendees at the convention, who had paid between $175 and $225 for admission, showcased their patriotism through their attire. The mention of parental rights in education garnered enthusiastic applause, as did Ramaswamy’s criticism of the political climate’s focus on Ukraine over the southern border.
Ramaswamy’s willingness to challenge the establishment and offer fresh ideas resonated with convention attendees. Many admired his youthfulness and saw him as an inspirational figure for the next generation. Some saw him as the future of the Republican Party, while others believed he needed more time to mature before being ready for such a role.
Ramaswamy criticized the artificial debate surrounding government shutdowns and called for a true shutdown of the administrative state. He proposed implementing zero-based budgeting for the federal budget, starting from scratch rather than relying on previous budgets.
Despite his impressive speech, Ramaswamy trailed behind Trump and DeSantis in a recent survey of likely California Republican voters. Only 4% of respondents expressed support for Ramaswamy, while 48% favored Trump. However, Ramaswamy remains determined to make his mark in the race for the presidency.
