Washington:
Indian-American businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the 2024 Republican presidential race after finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses, has now mocked US President Joe Biden for his second candidacy and said debates should use commercial breaks to exchange for the real Democratic candidate.
Ramaswamy’s comments came as the debate between Biden, 81, and Trump, 78, organized by CNN, ended on Thursday night (local time).
Going to X, Ramaswamy said: “The game is now more obvious than ever: the Democratic Party has served an old man as a sacrificial lamb tonight.”
“They should take advantage of the commercial break to change the real Democratic candidate,” he continued.
Slamming Biden for his presidential candidacy and performance during Thursday night’s debate, Ramaswamy said, “The only time Biden came remotely close to debate life was when he’s talking about convicting Trump and J6. Turns out he didn’t Gives a shit about the things Americans actually care about.”
He further added, “They didn’t drug Biden. Instead, they lobotomized him.”
Ramaswamy, himself a White House hopeful, said he was “shocked by Biden’s brain-dead performance” in the presidential debate.
“The fact that anyone is shocked by Biden’s brain-dead performance tonight is a damning indictment of the media, which has gone to great lengths to cover up this fact from the public,” Ramaswamy said.
Regarding several analysts calling for Biden to be replaced as the Democrats’ candidate, the Indian-American businessman recalled how everyone called his message to Biden’s Democracy Party, purring the end of his candidacy, as a “conspiracy theory”.
“The media dismissed this as a “conspiracy theory” when I called for Biden to end his candidacy last fall. Eight months later, they are starting to ask for it themselves,” Ramaswamy wrote on X.
Ramaswamy finished fourth in Iowa, according to CNN News projections, well behind Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
The Iowa caucus victory was seen as the first step in Donald Trump’s bid to claim the Republican nomination for the third consecutive election.
President Joe Biden launched his re-election campaign in April 2023, describing the race between himself and Trump as a “difficult choice” for voters between the continuation of democracy in America and its possible “destruction” under Trump.
He is the oldest president to hold the office and would be 86 years old at the end of his second term. Polls show that voters are much more concerned about Biden’s age than his opponent’s. But if Trump wins, he would break Biden’s record as oldest president before the end of his term.
Meanwhile, Trump has launched his bid to reclaim the White House in November 2022. He aims to reclaim the White House after his acrimonious departure in 2020, as he hopes to become only the second commander-in-chief to win two non-consecutive terms. in the office.
