The Iowa caucuses came and went and surprising no one, Trump was the clear winner followed by DeSantis and Hailey. Due to coming in 4th, Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump. I haven’t heard any official chatter about Vivek being Trump’s VP running mate but if that happens, I wouldn’t hate it. I think Trump could do a lot worse in picking a Vice President running mate. I can’t help but compare Vivek dropping out to the moment Beto O’Rourke was faced with the same situation back when he was running against Joe Biden.
After it was clear Biden was going to be the nominee, Biden said something to the effect of O’Rourke having an important role in the Biden administration. That’s amounted to a total of… absolutely nothing. How embarrassing for Beto. He loses to the oldest, whitest man the Democrats could prop up and still doesn’t have any role on a national level. That could be why he’s blasting Biden now and refuses to ask for Biden’s endorsement on anything he’s running for in Texas.
I think Vivek’s future is much brighter than Beto’s for a couple reasons: 1. He’s so much smarter and quicker on his feet. 2. At the time of this posting, Vivek has never said “Hell yes we’re going to take your guns.” Yeah, Beto went there… and he’s been irrelevant since.
The Republican nomination is probably about as mysterious as we think it is, and that is… not mysterious at all. It’ll be Trump. But who he’ll pick for VP is still a mystery. Biden on the other hand, is just one big mystery. Even he doesn’t know what he’ll do next.
