‘Luck is Spelled Work’: Indian-American GOP Candidate Ramaswamy Grinds on Campaign Trail – News18

Indian-American GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is grinding it out on the campaign trail, having participated in over 40 campaign stops last week, surpassing any other 2024 White House candidate.

On Saturday, the 38-year-old billionaire participated in 42 campaign stops – more than any other 2024 candidate, USA Today newspaper reported. Even as Donald Trump continues to lead him by more than 50 points in most national polls, Ramaswamy is touring the country and trying to convince voters why he should be the Republican nominee instead of the former US President.

On the campaign trail, Ramaswamy has often said, “Here’s how you spell luck: W-O-R-K.” It’s always been a formula that has worked for me in my life, be it in my academic background, as a student, in my career, as a businessman, and now on this journey,” the newspaper quoted Ramaswamy as saying.

“I’m confident that’s going to be the right way to get elected – not being insulated from the people who are representing, but in many ways, being responsive to the people we’re representing, Ramaswamy, the self-proclaimed outsider, said. ”I’d rather spend time with these caucusgoers and Pizza Ranches across the state, rather than being a cloistered mega-donor retreat,” the 38-year-old Indian American said.

Ramaswamy, who is an Ohio-based tech entrepreneur, is running his campaign like he’s run his businesses. Anson Frericks, who co-founded the company Strive Asset Management with Ramaswamy early last year, told the newspaper there’s no time for rest in the businessman’s schedule. “There’s no one that I’ve ever met that gets up in the morning, works out while he’s taking phone calls,” said Frericks, who’s known Ramaswamy since high school. “Ramaswamy worked 16 hours per day at Strive,” Frericks said, and that work ethic culture “permeated” throughout the organisation.
