Vivek Ramaswamy predicted eight months ago that Joe Biden would not be the presidential candidate
Washington:
Indian-American businessman-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy predicted about eight months ago that current President Joe Biden would not be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he has decided to give up running for re-election as president of the United States and supported his vice-president, Kamala Harris, to be the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.
“The best way to predict the future: just follow the incentives. It’s shocking how right you can be, right up until this very moment,” Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old Republican, said in a social media post alongside the video interview with Fox News last November, shortly after Biden announced his decision. .

“Yes, all your predictions came true,” said Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk in response. “I wish it weren’t like that,” Ramaswamy replied.

In his Fox News interview, Ramaswamy said: “I think the reality is that the management class around Biden has outlived its usefulness to him. This has been obvious to me since last year to apply the incentives. He’s not the strongest candidate they can put forward. And these people will stop at nothing to keep Donald J Trump out of office,” he said.
The Indian-American, who was then the Republican presidential candidate in the primaries along with former President Donald Trump, said that two candidates – Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama – would possibly be chosen by the Democrats.
“Let’s give credit where it’s due. For almost a year now, a man has been saying “Biden will not be the Democratic nominee” and predicting a last-minute blindside. People called him crazy,” said Tristane Tate, a social media influencer, applauding Ramaswamy for his prediction coming true. Ramaswamy made a similar prediction during one of the Republican presidential debates.
He also posted a video compilation of his predictions and said: “The anatomy of how a “conspiracy theory” became reality, in just 18 months.”

“’I remember corporate media reporters scoffing and laughing when Vivek Ramaswamy made this point in the debate. They’re not laughing now!” Raheem Kassam, journalist, said on X.
