First Fox – Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has laid out the standard of support for other political hopefuls, which he calls the “American Truth Pledge.”
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Ramaswamy said he received an “influx of requests for support” after canceling his 2024 campaign last month and announcing his support for former President Trump. However, in order to gain Trump’s support, it is necessary to share “some basic ideals,” which was a key theme of Trump’s presidential campaign, which advocated “America First.”
“We don’t want to make one-off decisions,” Ramaswamy said in an interview. “For me, if someone gets support, it means collectively supporting some fundamental ideals that we stand for, so I want to create them in a systematic way. ”
