Ramaswamy: ‘America First’ Agenda Doesn’t ‘Belong to Trump’

The Hill

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said on Sunday that the “America First” agenda does not “belong” to former President Donald Trump, and pledged to “take that agenda even further.”

“’America First’ does not belong to Trump. It doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the people of this country. And I think we take that agenda even further, if we’re doing it based on ‘First’ principles and moral authority, as [former President] Reagan did, rather than on vengeance and grievance. And that’s what I’m bringing to this race,” Ramaswamy said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” with Martha Raddatz.

Ramaswamy’s longshot bid is rooted in conservative principles, and he has risen to modest media fame in recent years as a champion of the political right. He entered the race in February as the first millennial ever to run for president.
