Celebrated Conservative Author of Woke Inc Says He Will Decide His Presidential Run By End of Month

Celebrated conservative author and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is mulling whether to make a run for the White House in 2024. Mr. Ramaswamy, the author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam and Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence, has for years lamented the state of woke politics in the United States and the sense of victimhood it breeds.

As an investor, he founded his own asset management company to be an alternative to the woke ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) corporate movement that prioritizes social justice over consumer and business-owner interests. In an interview with Fox News Digital, he laid out what his agenda would be and stated that he would make the decision on whether to run by the end of February.

Mr. Ramaswamy’s foreign policy priorities would be shaped by the need, he argues, to divorce the American economy from China and to protect the sovereignty of Taiwan, the beleaguered island republic from mainland Chinese aggression. He also pledged to “Unapologetically decimate the cartels [on America’s southern border]” and mused, “I think it’s got to be a shock and awe strategy so that they don’t have a cycle of adaptation.”

He pointed to the poor state of law enforcement on the southern border as inviting the Mexican drug cartels and their Chinese fentanyl suppliers to continue their unholy work of poisoning and killing Americans. Mr. Ramaswamy also warned that the United States should not be distracted by the Russo-Ukraine conflict to the point where the conflict becomes “a permanent money-suck for the United States.”

Mr. Ramaswamy’s domestic policy would be centered around reining in Big Tech. He has said that the state should release its equivalent of the Musk Twitter Files of how the state has pressured companies in the last five years to do something that the government cannot do directly. He also maintained that Congress should reform Section 230 C.2 which currently allows Big Tech to take down erstwhile constitutionally protected speech without legal penalty. This would be a part of a broader effort to restore free speech to the country and prevent the political weaponization of speech.

If Mr. Ramaswamy became the Republican candidate for the 2024 election, he will be, at 37, the second youngest presidential nominee from a major party for the White House. The youngest candidate from a major party was William Jennings Byran who ran in 1896 at the age of 36 as the Democratic nominee and lost. Mr. Byran, a former representative of Nebraska from 1891-1895, would run three times for that post and lose all three times in 1896, 1900, and 1908.

Mr. Byran would become Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson and later attained lasting legal fame for his defense of creationism in the Scopes Monkey Trial. Should Mr. Ramaswamy, however, be victorious in his presidential pursuits, then this would make him the youngest president to serve in the White House.

Irrespective of whether he decides to run, it would do any candidate good to hear his platform out and consider adopting these  proposals.
