“I’m running to be president of the United States,” Ramaswamy reasserted during an interview with Fox News. “It’s a big sacrifice to make.”
Charles Cooke, a senior writer for National Review, argued earlier this month that Ramaswamy was not “really running for president.”
Cooke explained that Ramaswamy saw that there was no downside to running for president and that even a loss would provide bigger name recognition and increased media and offer more financial opportunities, like large book advances and higher speaking fees.
