Subject: Ramaswamy, darling of the far right
Ramaswamy is running on the idea that Trump didn't go far enough in using the presidency to implement a conservative agenda. As such, his proposals are considered extreme. The Post's Dylan Wells says he's running as 'Trump 2.0': 'You only get to be an outsider once,' Ramaswamy said. He wants to:
Shut down the FBI
Decimate the rest of the government's executive branch to about 25 percent of its current workforce
Raise the voting age from 18 to 25
Pull support for Ukraine
Pardon Trump WAPO
A wealthy businessman who is running for president and is sparking some grass-roots energy on the right. Republican strategists I've talked to name him (alongside Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina) as a candidate who is resonating with voters looking beyond Trump.
...resonating with voters...
And you really think the US couldn't go authoritarian?
