The \u2062youngest among thirteen \u200bRepublican candidates, Ramaswamy appeared on Fox and Friends Saturday to address concerns about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-suddenly-face-messy-primaries-ahead-of-2024-bid-to-retake-senate\/\" title=\"GOP faces contentious primaries for 2024 Senate comeback.\">conservative \u2062views<\/a>. He was questioned about a recent article that highlighted \u2063his various political stances, even dating back to \u2064his time as an\u2062 18-year-old \u2062Harvard student. Ramaswamy reflected on the changes he has\u2063 undergone since then, recalling the moment he asked then-candidate \u2063Al Sharpton, &#8220;Out of\u200d all the Democratic candidates out there, why should I vote for the one\u200d with \u2063the\u2063 least political experience?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A \u200dJourney of Experience and Conviction<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, it&#8217;s true that\u200c I was asking Al Sharpton a question on MSNBC, and I \u2064didn&#8217;t start my life spouting Republican talking points,&#8221; Ramaswamy admitted. &#8220;My views have been shaped by my experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The year was 2003, and Senator John Kerry would eventually secure the nomination, only to lose to President George W. Bush. Ramaswamy cast his \u2064first vote \u200dduring that election but didn&#8217;t vote again until 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a CEO, I, like many others, felt pressured to make statements in support of Black Lives Matter after George Floyd&#8217;s death. However, \u200cI chose to stand apart from my fellow CEOs and advocate for businesses staying out of politics and focusing on \u200bprofits,&#8221; Ramaswamy explained.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;This journey \u2063ultimately led me to embrace pro-American views that I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vivek-ramaswamy-admits-he-didnt-espouse-republican-politics-out-of-the-birth-canal\/\" title=\"Vivek Ramaswamy acknowledges he wasn't born a Republican.\">hold dear today<\/a>. My convictions \u2063run deeper than those of a typical politician\u200c who recites slogans from their super \u200dPAC. I am an independent patriot who \u2062speaks the truth, which is why I \u200bhave \u200cbeen unwavering and resolute in my beliefs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During that time, Ramaswamy served as the CEO of \u200cRoivant Sciences, a pharmaceutical company that has seen six of its drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration since \u2063its establishment\u200b in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy has since\u2063 stepped \u2064down from his role at \u200dRoivant Sciences and \u200cco-founded\u2063 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/race-towards-autonomous-ai-agents-grips-silicon-valley\/\" title=\"Silicon Valley gripped by race towards 'autonomous' AI agents.\">venture capital\u200c firm<\/a> before announcing his bid for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-goes-viral-for-looking-half-asleep-while-mumbling-in-brutal-oval-office-video\/\" title=\"Biden's Sleepy and Mumbling Video in Oval Office Goes Viral\">2024 \u200dpresidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read\u2064 more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vivek Ramaswamy, the youngest Republican candidate, discussed his political transformation and bid for the 2024 presidential nomination on Fox and Friends.
