Indian American entrepreneur and political commentator, Vivek Ramaswamy urged the Republican Party to recalibrate its approach towards the 2024 presidential elections especially following Kamala Harris’ elevation to the top of the democratic ticket.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ramaswamy highlighted the need for clarity and consistency among the Republican party and its supporters. "Time for our side to wake up to some hard realities, fast," Ramaswamy said while stating several points for the GOP to consider.
Time for our side to wake up to some hard realities, fast:

1. Stop calling on Biden to step down or to be forced out. That will just give Kamala all the benefits of running as an incumbent U.S. President. And she won’t be any better for America in the next 5 months than Biden…
Firstly, he advised against pushing for President Joe Biden's resignation or impeachment, warning that such actions could inadvertently strengthen Vice President Kamala Harris by positioning her as an incumbent. "She won’t be any better for America in the next 5 months than Biden will be," he asserted.
Ramaswamy also cautioned against attacking Harris for her prosecutorial record, arguing that it could wrongly portray her as a "law-and-order" candidate. He criticized the contradictory narratives within the GOP that simultaneously accuse Harris of covering up for Biden while also staging a coup against him, pointing out that such inconsistencies could cost the party votes.
"Our biggest risk isn’t that voters will suddenly fall in love with Kamala," Ramaswamy noted, referencing her lackluster performance in the Democratic primaries. "Our biggest risk is we get distracted & forget to offer our own vision for the future of the United States of America."
Ramaswamy called on the GOP to focus on defining their values and vision, emphasizing themes of merit, free speech, self-governance, and the rule of law. He expressed confidence in the potential for a historic landslide victory for former President Donald Trump, provided the party seizes the moment and presents a coherent, compelling platform.
