Tech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is set to address a wide range of voters tonight at the Republican National Convention, advocating for Donald Trump as a unifying force for the country. Ramaswamy, who previously ran against Trump in the Republican primary before endorsing him in January, will focus on engaging Black voters, immigrants, and young voters in his speech.
One key message Ramaswamy plans to convey to Black voters is the Republican Party's commitment to creating safe communities, providing job opportunities, and ensuring a fair justice system that treats everyone equally. He will emphasize the need for a more just criminal justice system, irrespective of skin color or political affiliation, echoing concerns about the system being biased against Republicans.
Addressing legal immigrants, Ramaswamy will promise opportunities for a better future for their children in America. He will also address the issue of illegal immigration, stating that individuals who have broken the law will be deported, not as a reflection of their character but as a consequence of their actions.
Ramaswamy will encourage young voters to consider supporting the Republican Party as a way to express individuality and rebel against mainstream trends by embracing conservative values. He aims to appeal to young voters by highlighting the distinctiveness of identifying as a conservative in today's political landscape.
In addition to targeting specific voter groups, Ramaswamy will emphasize the importance of national unity, particularly in the face of political polarization. This theme of unity has been prevalent among Republican convention speakers following the recent attempted assassination of Trump, underscoring the need for solidarity despite ideological differences.
