The young political novice has endeared himself to Trump and his supporters and made a future pardon a likely general-election issue.
Now Ramaswamy, who clearly knows how not only to grab but to maintain media attention, is upping the ante, sending a letter to his rivals “Each of our paths to electoral success would be easier if President Trump were eliminated from competition, but that is the wrong result for our country. The fact that we are running against Trump gives us credibility to denounce this politicized prosecution,” Ramaswamy wrote.
“I condemn these charges by the U.S. Department of Justice. Below, I have signed a commitment to pardon President Trump promptly on January 20, 2025, for the federal charges … I respectfully request that you join me in this commitment or else publicly explain why you will not,” he added in his letter.
In case anyone missed their letter in the mail, Ramaswamy stood in front of the federal courthouse in Miami where Trump will be arraigned and waved a copy of his challenge while wearing a ball cap emblazoned with the word “Truth.” In front of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. courthouse in downtown Miami — where Trump will appear later today — presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is challenging every GOP candidate, plus RFK and Marianne Williamson, to commit to pardoning Trump if elected.
