He stated, &#8220;Only 16% of Gen Z says they&#8217;re proud to be American. 60% of teens on TikTok would rather give up their right to vote than their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sickening-video-shows-antifa-allegedly-stab-4-trump-supporters-in-washington-dc\/\" title=\"Sickening Video Shows Antifa Allegedly Stab 4 Trump Supporters in Washington DC\">social media account<\/a>.

However, the Real Clear Politics average places him behind several other candidates. Despite this, Ramaswamy remains committed to his mission of reviving the American national identity, emphasizing the importance of shared values and purpose for progress.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, a 2024 Republican presidential primary candidate, plans to allocate $250,000 in scholarship funds to reignite patriotism in younger Americans.
