Republican leader Vivek Ramaswamy took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris in a bold statement from the heart of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention, branding her as “a cog in the wheel and a puppet.” Ramaswamy’s fiery remarks, delivered on the same day Harris was set to accept the Democratic presidential nomination, ignited a fresh wave of controversy and debate.
Ramaswamy, 39, suggested that Harris is intentionally avoiding policy discussions in her speeches to protect her popularity. “She’s staying away from policy because the more she talks about it, the less popular she becomes,” Ramaswamy was quoted as saying by PTI. He argued that this strategy is designed to shield her from criticism and preserve her public image.
Ramaswamy, who was flown into Chicago by the Trump Campaign, did not hold back in his criticism of Harris’s economic policies and her record on border issues. “We win on policy,” he asserted. “We need to go harder after her for her failed economic policies and her record at the Southern border. If we do that, I believe we’re going to be successful not only in winning this election but in saving the country.”
As the Republican Party gears up for the upcoming election, Ramaswamy emphasized his support for Donald Trump, claiming that Trump is the best choice for the nation. He highlighted the importance of controlling both the Senate and the House to advance their agenda. “I’m doing everything I can to be helpful, while also continuing some of my own independent ventures,” he said.
Among his ventures, Ramaswamy is an executive producer of the film City of Dreams, directed by Indian immigrant Mohit Ramchandani. The movie is set to release on August 30. Ramaswamy is also preparing for the release of his upcoming book, Truths: The Future of America First, due out in late September. “It’s important to drive changes in culture, but the most important objective is to win not only the presidency but control of the House and Senate,” he added.
Ramaswamy’s critique extended to Harris’s open border policy, which he described as “offensive to every legal immigrant.” He argued that the policy undermines meritocracy, making it more difficult for individuals based on race, gender, or sexuality to access higher education and job opportunities. “In the GOP, we want to end affirmative action not because we’re against anybody, but because we stand for meritocracy,” Ramaswamy explained. “It’s time we restore merit in the United States of America.”
As the political landscape heats up, Ramaswamy’s comments reflect the broader Republican strategy of challenging Harris’s record and positioning Trump as the solution to the nation’s problems.
