Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy expressed his belief that Vice President Kamala Harris' choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate could potentially benefit the Republican party. Ramaswamy stated that Walz's progressive policies might alienate centrist voters, potentially leading to losses for the Democratic party.
Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur who withdrew from the GOP presidential race following a disappointing performance in the Iowa caucuses, argued that in comparison to Walz, Donald Trump could be seen as a moderate in terms of policy. He emphasized the importance of Republicans focusing on their own vision and policies, regardless of the opposition's choices, to increase their chances of success in the upcoming November elections.
As a surrogate for the Trump campaign, Ramaswamy highlighted the opportunity presented by Walz's selection, suggesting that it could serve as a chance for Republicans to redirect the narrative of the race towards policy discussions. He expressed optimism that this shift could lead to a positive outcome for the Republican party in the upcoming elections.
Ramaswamy acknowledged that the past few weeks had been challenging for Republicans but viewed the selection of Walz as a potential turning point that could reset the dynamics of the race. He believed that by focusing on policy and presenting a clear vision, Republicans could capitalize on this opportunity and improve their electoral prospects.
