Vivek Ramaswamy struggles to gain traction with Iowa Republicans as critics question his path ahead
Vivek Ramaswamy has failed to move up in the 2024 Republican primary race and is increasingly risking becoming an afterthought. At one recent campaign event in Iowa, hardly anyone was in the room at the time the event was supposed to start. He took the stage more than an hour late with about 60 people. Former President Donald Trump is the strong front-runner in the primary. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley are increasingly targeting each other. Ramaswamy is still holding lots of events in Iowa. But he faces persistent voter questions about his age, faith, and positions on Israel.
