• Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate, has withdrawn from the 2024 race.
• He finished in fourth place in the Iowa caucuses, receiving less than 8% of the votes.
• Following his withdrawal, Ramaswamy endorsed Donald Trump, who led the Iowa caucuses.

In a surprising turn of events, Vivek Ramaswamy, a young entrepreneur and charismatic multi-millionaire, has ended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

Ramaswamy, who brought a fresh, conservative millennial energy to the race, faced a disappointing outcome in the Iowa caucuses, securing under 8 percent of the votes. This result placed him in a distant fourth, behind Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Addressing his supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, Ramaswamy acknowledged the lack of a viable path to the presidency and announced the suspension of his campaign. In a significant move, he called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory in the Iowa caucuses and offered his full endorsement. This endorsement aligns with Ramaswamy's previous position of being complimentary of Trump, despite positioning himself as a next-generation choice for the MAGA movement.

Ramaswamy's campaign was marked by memorable debate moments and a strong critique of 'woke' culture. He was outspoken against media biases, particularly highlighting instances where he felt marginalized or excluded in media coverage and polls. Despite the setbacks and the ultimate decision to withdraw, Ramaswamy's energetic campaign and the subsequent endorsement of Trump could influence the dynamics of the ongoing Republican race.
