evidence: Update: Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his campaign on January 15, 2024, after finishing fourth in the Iowa Republican caucuses with just under 8 percent of the vote. Can someone with no political experience and little name recognition make it to the White House? History suggests not. But Vivek Ramaswamy thinks he can break the mold. The multi-millionaire tech entrepreneur and "anti-woke" crusader is running for president on the platform of restoring E Pluribus Unum, the idea that America represents the many becoming one. If Ramaswamy succeeds, he will not only be the first person of Indian descent to sit in the Oval Office, he will be the youngest president ever. On January 20, 2025, he will still be seven months short of turning forty. [...] Ramaswamy’s mother worked as a geriatric psychiatrist; his father was an engineer and a patent lawyer at General Electric. They came to the U.S. from South India before Vivek was born, in 1985. Growing up in the Cincinnati area, Vivek established himself as an overachiever: an accomplished pianist, a nationally ranked tennis player, and the valedictorian of his Jesuit high school. He graduated from Harvard College and Yale Law School, worked at a hedge fund, then started a pharmaceutical company, Roivant Sciences, where he made hundreds of millions of dollars. That a chunk of this wealth derived from a failed effort to bring an Alzheimer’s drug to market is something he doesn’t dwell on in speeches.
