RACINE, WISCONSIN — Vivek Ramaswamy drew a parallel between Donald Trump and the first U. S. president, George Washington, suggesting that the 2024 election is akin to a “1776 moment. ”
On Tuesday, June 18, in a surprise appearance at Trump’s rally in Racine, Wisconsin, the biotech entrepreneur claimed that the presumptive Republican nominee faced persecution similar to that experienced by the Founding Fathers in Britain and suggested his supporters vote for him in November.
The former Republican presidential nominee in 2024 also speculated that President Joe Biden would likely not be the Democratic presidential nominee for 2024 in November, according to the Daily Mail.
Ramaswamy addressed the lively crowd saying, “Dig deeper and ask yourselves why our founding fathers made the sacrifices they did 250 years ago. 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. No we ask what has become of them. “
He continued: “I’m going to tell you what happened to them; 12 of them had their homes looted and burned by the British, five of them were captured by the British and tortured to death, nine of them died in the Revolutionary War. , 3 more of them saw their own sons die in the Revolutionary War, many of them died bankrupt because their personal belongings were confiscated before they died.
“They made those sacrifices in 1776 and I who today is a moment of 1776 in 2024 and Donald Trump is the George Washington of our time,” said the former Republican presidential candidate.
Ramaswamy continually invoked this rhetoric in his election crusade as he rallied his supporters around what he called the “ideals of 1776,” arguing that Americans deserve to use a “1776 moment” to combat “consciousness,” referring to progressive politics around identity and consciousness. social equality.
Ramaswamy wrote on X (formerly Twitter) about 30 minutes before arriving at the rally site at Racine Festival Park: “I just landed in Wisconsin. This year I am in critical condition. I’ll be heading to the rally in Racine shortly. It’ll be fun. ”
Thousands of people came to watch the campaign event, which took place about 30 miles south of Milwaukee.
Ramaswamy began his speech by saying he would not criticize President Biden’s record.
“I’m not going to be here criticizing Joe Biden because it’s likely, let’s be honest, that he’s probably not the candidate we’re up against,” the businessman said.
Tuesday’s demonstration in Wisconsin follows Trump’s felony conviction in Manhattan, in which he was convicted of 34 counts similar to falsifying business records similar to a secret cash payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
The 78-year-old MAGA strongman is expected to return to Wisconsin next month for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he is expected to officially secure the party’s nomination for the 2024 election.
Wisconsin is a battleground state and holds significant significance for the 2024 presidential election.
In 2016, Trump won Wisconsin by a margin of 0. 7%, but in 2020, the state voted in favor of President Biden.
One of them commented, “Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the most eloquent and intelligent people who can be vice president. If Trump had Vivek as vice president, he would be a!!POWER. “
“Washington, a war hero and a two-term respected president, known for his inability to lie. Trump, a reluctant and disgraced former president who fired after a single term for incompetence and poor functionality and is known for not telling the truth. “argued one user.
Someone else said, “The only logical explanation why I see this madness continuing is that we need us, the majority, to settle for a global policy that benefits them financially. “
“A scammer can’t be trusted Phatmaswampy. Es,” Array wrote as the user commented, “Honestly, I don’t know if I have the courage to keep seeing this. “
Regarding his claim that Biden would not possibly get the Democratic nomination, one person wrote, “His claim (that Biden will not be the nominee) is not surprising, as many percentages of that sentiment are not surprising. “
Another supporter claimed, “You’re not wrong, Biden didn’t win the last election. ”
