\n

\n After a splashy debut at last month\u2019s first Republican presidential debate, Vivek Ramaswamy has gone from an unknown to a contender who\u2019s now facing questions about his youth and lack of political experience, especially given his position as the first millennial to run for the Republican presidential nomination. He\u2019s being vetted over how he made his millions at the biotech company he started in his late 20s and frequent shifts in his foreign policy platform. He\u2019s also facing questions about how he would, if elected, enact his agenda and defend it from legal challenges.\n <\/p>\n

\n One of the latest moments to illustrate this came last week when, a few days after a dinner with social media personality Jake Paul, he became the first of the major GOP primary candidates to join TikTok in an effort to appeal to younger voters, despite his concerns. Up until that point, he had railed against TikTok, calling it an addictive \u201cdigital fentanyl\u201d and expressing an openness to ban it as part of his broader platform on curbing China\u2019s power.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m a person who\u2019s always open to new arguments,\u201d he told reporters hours after he posted his first TikTok. \u201cIn this case, yes, I changed my mind.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The moment underscores a growing challenge for Ramaswamy and his campaign ahead of the second GOP primary debate: proving that his policy platform is substantive, even as it\u2019s constantly evolving.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy has gained ground in national and state polls, where he frequently places behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. A CNN\/University of New Hampshire poll of Granite State voters released Wednesday showed him in a close race for second place with three rivals trailing Trump, who was the top choice of 39% of likely GOP primary voters surveyed. Ramaswamy, at 13%, ran about even with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley at 12%, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 11% and DeSantis at 10%.\n <\/p>\n

\n He\u2019s built his message around the idea that Americans lack purpose and meaning, and that the country needs someone like him \u2013 young, unjaded and an outsider without the baggage of Trump \u2013 to help restore the country\u2019s national identity.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think as a nation, we\u2019re all really just a little bit young, actually, going through our own version of collective adolescence, figuring out who we\u2019re really going to be when we grow up,\u201d he said at an event in Washington Wednesday, detailing his plan to cut 75% of the federal workforce. \u201cYes, we go through that identity crisis, that national identity crisis, but we can be stronger for it, once we get through it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Critics have accused Ramaswamy of running to elevate his personal profile and described his on stage persona as \u201carrogant\u201d or \u201cannoying.\u201d But friends and allies describe him as intellectually gifted, radically ambitious and willing to debate with anyone and possibly change his mind or evolve his views. They credit him for a willingness to surround himself with people he disagrees with, including longtime friends and even his wife, head and neck surgeon Apoorva Ramaswamy. Most recently, the two publicly disagreed on Covid-19 vaccines \u2013 he has regrets about taking it, she has none.\n <\/p>\n

\n While some policy positions may change, those who know him say his core values \u2013 American exceptionalism and the importance of free speech among them \u2013 have not.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cTo me, that\u2019s a sign of strength,\u201d Benjamin Zimmer, a friend of Ramaswamy\u2019s from college who later worked with him at Roivant, said of his updated stance on TikTok. \u201cIt\u2019s someone who\u2019s willing to be honest and open minded and doesn\u2019t come from some established dogma.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Mark Kvamme, a cofounder at Drive Capital who has donated to Ramaswamy\u2019s campaign and is helping him with fundraising, agreed.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen him digest information and look at things differently,\u201d said Kvamme, who met Ramaswamy when the two served on the advisory board of InnovateOhio, an initiative run by Ohio Lt. Gov Jon Husted to cut costs and expand the state\u2019s use of technology.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe is constantly looking at new things, and he receives feedback,\u201d he said. \u201cHe may not agree with you 100%. But he receives it and looks at it and understands it and digests it, and then figures out where he stands on it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy\u2019s open mindedness, which first appeared during on campus debates at Harvard College and Yale Law School, has helped propel his candidacy and exposed him to audiences including MSNBC and \u201cThe Breakfast Club.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n But it\u2019s also caused problems, as he\u2019s adjusted his stances on issues including US military support for Taiwan, aid to Israel, the response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the importance of Juneteenth as a federal holiday.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy\u2019s campaign did not make him available for an interview with CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy\u2019s highly decorated resume resembles the last millennial presidential candidate and fellow Harvard graduate, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.\n <\/p>\n

\n Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to parents who emigrated from India, he graduated as valedictorian from the private Jesuit St. Xavier High School, where he also played tennis and was a member of the mock trial team.\n <\/p>\n

\n At Harvard, he majored in biology, chaired the Harvard Political Union, where he moderated debates on issues like abortion rights, and moonlighted as a libertarian rapper under the stage name Da Vek. (Da Vek made an appearance in Iowa last month, when Ramaswamy rapped Eminem\u2019s \u201cLose Yourself\u201d at the state fair. Eminem later asked the candidate to stop performing his song.)\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI consider myself a contrarian,\u201d Ramaswamy told the Harvard Crimson in 2006. \u201cI like to argue.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n From Harvard, he took a job at a hedge fund as a biotech stock analyst and worked there while attending Yale Law School, where he met his wife and befriended Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance. In 2014, he founded Roivant, the source of the bulk of his fortune. The company targets drugs that large pharmaceutical companies have shelved because they didn\u2019t fit into the company\u2019s business model. Roivant would buy the right to develop those drugs and share the profits with the original company. The \u201croi\u201d in the company\u2019s names stands for return on investment.\n <\/p>\n

\n Donald Berwick, a former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under President Barack Obama, joined an advisory group for Roivant after being recruited by former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, another member. The group would meet two to three times a year, including when the company suffered a major blow after an Alzheimer\u2019s drug it developed failed.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe spoke of the social responsibility of the company, which was interesting,\u201d Berwick said. \u201cPharmaceutical firms have really not been doing a great job of social responsibility in pricing. It really bothers me a lot, and he seemed to be willing to be more responsive, more thoughtful and more progressive.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Fighting \u2018woke\u2019 companies and investing
\n<\/h2>\n

\n By 2020, Ramaswamy had started popping up in conservative media spaces, including the Wall Street Journal op-ed section and Fox News, railing against \u201cstakeholder\u201d capitalism, which generally argues that companies have a responsibility to everyone who has a stake in a company, not just people who hold shares. Shareholder capitalism argues the goal of companies should be to maximize returns for shareholders.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cSpeaking as a CEO and a citizen, I don\u2019t want American capitalists to play a larger role in defining and implementing the country\u2019s political and social values,\u201d Ramaswamy wrote in a February 2020 Wall Street Journal op-ed. \u201cI think the answers to these questions should be determined by the citizenry \u2013 publicly through debate and privately at the ballot box.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy targeted large asset management companies like BlackRock, which have embraced ESG \u2013 environmental, social and governance \u2013 initiatives. Larry Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock, said in June he would stop using the term ESG because it has been politicized.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy expanded on that premise in \u201cWoke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America\u2019s Social Justice Scam,\u201d in which he argued that companies and activists work together to \u201csteal our shared American identity\u201d and advance a left leaning agenda that would be difficult, if not impossible, to pass through Congress.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWoke culture posits a new theory of who you are as a person, one that reduces you to the characteristics you inherit at birth and denies your status as a free agent in the world,\u201d he wrote.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy\u2019s insistence that company leaders shouldn\u2019t get involved in politics was tested twice during the pandemic: In 2020, Ramaswamy struggled to respond when Roivant staff demanded that he make a statement in support of Black Lives Matter after George Floyd\u2019s murder. He eventually declared Juneteenth a holiday and spent the day in reflection, he wrote in \u201cWoke, Inc.\u201d In early 2021, Berwick and other advisory group members ended their relationship with Roivant over his conservative comments, including a Wall Street Journal essay condemning social media companies for their response to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol. He stepped back as chief executive of the company in January 2021 to become executive chairman.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cSince then he\u2019s gone much, much farther in his presidential statements,\u201d Berwick said. \u201cHe seems to be willing to say anything he needs to in order to win over the most extreme of the Republican base. I no longer know, at all, what he really believes.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n During the pandemic, he and his friend and former high school debate partner Anson Frericks started talking about their issues with corporate activism. Frericks, a former Anheuser-Busch executive, had been frustrated by the backlash to the 2021 election law overhaul passed in Georgia in response to Trump\u2019s false claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.\n <\/p>\n

\n The two debated starting a portfolio of companies that wouldn\u2019t engage in the culture wars \u2013 an alternative to Coca Cola, an airline company, or a social media rival to Twitter, prior to Elon Musk\u2019s purchase of what is now called X. Instead, they settled on forming Strive, an asset management firm.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard enough to create one company, let alone a portfolio of companies,\u201d Frericks said. \u201cSo we ultimately decided on why don\u2019t we go upstream and actually compete against BlackRock, which was sort of almost like the fountainhead of this stakeholder capitalism movement.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The company, which has received investments from billionaire tech mogul Peter Thiel, has more than 40 employees and $1 billion assets under management. It has also faced some hiccups, including two lawsuits from ex-employees. Frericks said the company is \u201cdefending ourselves vigorously.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Frericks said Ramaswamy\u2019s decision to run for president this year came as a surprise to him, given how recently they started Strive. \u201cI agree that we are somewhat lost as a nation, that we\u2019re searching for a cause,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ramaswamy announced his campaign during an appearance on Tucker Carlson\u2019s former Fox News show, where he had been a frequent guest. Frericks wasn\u2019t the only person caught off guard by the timing \u2013 Ramaswamy\u2019s parents were surprised as well and his wife told The Atlantic that he didn\u2019t seriously talk about running for president until last December.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the months since, Ramaswamy has done dozens of TV interviews, campaign rallies and podcast appearances, including hosting his own podcast. By August, he\u2019d gained enough donors and poll support to make it to the center of stage at the first, Trump-free debate. There, former Vice President Mike Pence called him a \u201crookie,\u201d Haley said he lacked foreign policy experience \u201cand it shows,\u201d and Christie said he \u201csounds like Chat GPT.\u201d Ramaswamy hit back by calling his opponents career politicians and \u201csuper PAC puppets.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In the weeks since the debate, Ramaswamy appears to be entering a new phase of the campaign aimed at fleshing out his platform. This month he laid out the legal argument behind his plan to conduct mass layoffs at several federal agencies at America First Works, part of a network of groups founded by former aides to Trump, and gave a speech about his plan to combat China\u2019s growing global influence.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think we did the thing where I explained the broad vision to the country and engaged in, I would say, the introductory conversations, which was a fun phase of the campaign,\u201d he said at a sit down with reporters last week. \u201cBut now we\u2019re getting to the really serious phase of the campaign where we talk about not just the what, and even the why\u2026 but the how.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
