Ramaswamy wise to accept Soros funds for law school despite $2M earnings: Campaign.

GOP Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Defends Decision to Accept⁤ Soros‍ Scholarship

GOP presidential candidateVivek Ramaswamy is making headlines for his bold choice to accept a $90,000 ‌Soros scholarship for law school, despite earning over $2 million in income‌ the same year.

“Vivek⁣ would have been a fool to turn down that scholarship – Anyone who would have⁤ shouldn’t get ⁢anywhere⁣ near the White House doing trade deals,”

– Tricia McLaughlin, Campaign Spokeswoman

In 2011, Ramaswamy received the $90,000 ⁤scholarship from the‌ Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for ‍New Americans, founded by George Soros’ brother.‌ This decision ⁣has sparked controversy, as tax ‌records‌ released ​by Ramaswamy himself revealed a total ⁣income of $2,252,209 that‍ year, according to Fox News.

Ramaswamy has​ defended his choice, stating⁤ that he accepted the scholarship because​ he “didn’t⁣ have⁤ the money” ‌to attend law school at the time. Prior to ‌his enrollment at Yale Law ​School, he⁤ worked as an⁣ investment analyst at the hedge fund ‍QVT ⁤Financial.

Despite the controversy, Ramaswamy’s campaign remains steadfast⁣ in their support of ​his decision. Campaign spokeswoman ⁣Tricia McLaughlin emphasized that the scholarship was ⁤a generic one, awarded⁢ to⁤ hundreds of students, and funded by a deceased relative of George Soros.

“In fact, there’s only one candidate⁣ that will⁣ be on stage ⁣Wednesday ‌night ⁤whom George Soros has said he wants ⁢to win this primary – and it’s not Vivek.”

– ‍Tricia McLaughlin, Campaign Spokeswoman

McLaughlin further attempted ⁢to‍ shift the focus‍ onto⁣ Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, highlighting Soros’ previous statement that he wanted DeSantis to win the GOP primary.⁢ She also pointed out that​ DeSantis is the only governor to have removed​ a Soros prosecutor from office, not once⁤ but twice.

Ramaswamy, currently ranked third in⁤ the ⁣Real⁢ Clear ⁢Politics polling average of the ​primary race, is set to‍ participate ⁤in the first debate of the primary alongside seven other Republican candidates. The 2024 race for the⁢ White House ⁢marks Ramaswamy’s foray into politics after achieving success in the biotech industry.
