After Trump won the Iowa caucus Monday night, Ramaswamy addressed his supporters and thanked everyone who helped his campaign. He also noted that his campaign is about “speaking the truth”
He said, “So I will stick to the truth tonight.”
“We did not achieve the surprise that we wanted to deliver tonight. And I think that that’s just a hard fact that we’re going to have to accept as a campaign.”
He noted that the right thing for America is to suspend his Presidential campaign. He admitted, “I am very worried for our country. I think we are skating on thin ice as a nation.”
Ramaswamy thanked everyone for trying to save America, but he noted that in order to put America First, he must support the winner of the Iowa caucus, Trump.
He pledged that he and his wife will continue to work for the America First movement and that they wholly believe in the American Dream.
“We’re gonna do our part, now going forward, to make sure that America First lives on. To make sure that Donald Trump is successful as the next president of the United States.”
“To make sure that it isn’t some other puppet they trot out to make sure that they steal this country out from underneath us. We’re not gonna let that happen,” he concluded.
He predicted that America will have another 250 years of success if the nation is put first by The People.
This entire campaign is about speaking the TRUTH. We did not achieve our goal tonight & we need an America-First patriot in the White House. The people spoke loud & clear about who they want. Tonight I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Donald J. Trump and will do everything…
