Ramaswamy aims to combat ‘victimhood’ culture in his political future – Washington Examiner
vivek Ramaswamy, a billionaire and ally of former President Donald Trump, has expressed his intentions to address what he describes as a “victimhood” culture in America. After leaving his position wiht the Department of Government Efficiency, Ramaswamy hinted at a possible gubernatorial run in Ohio for the 2026 election. During an interview on “The Breakfast Club,” he emphasized the importance of fostering a culture of ”victors” rather than “victims,” which aligns with the themes presented in his book, “Woke Inc.”
Ramaswamy recently parted ways with the DOGE initiative, stating that he could not pursue elected office while serving in that capacity. He mentioned that he is now focusing on future political endeavors and hinted at an upcoming notable announcement. Moreover, he has reportedly brought on two political advisors from JD Vance’s Senate campaign, indicating serious preparations for his anticipated gubernatorial campaign, which might potentially be officially announced around mid-Febuary.
Ramaswamy aims to combat ‘victimhood’ culture in his political future
Billionaire and Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy detailed his future after leaving the Department of Government Efficiency, specifically how he wants to combat “victimhood” within the nation.
Ramaswamy split with DOGE earlier this month amid rumors that he will launch a gubernatorial run in Ohio’s 2026 election, with the billionaire stating that President Donald Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk are “very supportive” of his decision. While Ramaswamy did not officially announce a gubernatorial launch, he strongly alluded to running for a position of power at the state level in his discussion with radio host Charlamagne tha God.
“And I think the ability to lead a state, but also to be able to revive this culture of victory over victimhood in America, that’s what I care about,” Ramaswamy said on The Breakfast Club. “We’re victors, not victims, that’s who we are, and I don’t care where that comes from. From my first book, Woke Inc., all the way through everything I’ve done ever since, I’m against victimhood culture. We’re victors, we’re exceptional, we believe in excellence, we believe in being unconstrained as a people and as a country. Well, if I’m going to be a leader in that country, I’m going to be pretty unconstrained at every step of the way, too.”
The former presidential candidate was asked about his decision to split with DOGE, to which Ramaswamy stated that “the right step” for him in the future is elected office and that he “could not do that” while serving as the co-head of DOGE simultaneously. He added that he was proud to have been part of DOGE for its first few months of existence but that he is now focused on “my next steps on the state level.”
Toward the end of his discussion on the show, Ramaswamy stated that the public can expect “a big announcement” within the next few weeks.
A new report has stated that Ramaswamy has recruited Andy Surabian and Jai Chabria, two political advisers to Vice President JD Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign and that Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial announcement can be expected sometime in mid-February.
