Vivek Ramaswamy exited the Republican primary race after finishing fourth in the Iowa Caucuses. The biotech entrepreneur and vocal critic of 'wokeness' threw his support behind Donald Trump following the former president's dominant win. Ramaswamy acknowledged the lack of a viable path for his candidacy, citing concerns about the nation's direction. Known for his provocative statements, he faced challenges sustaining momentum. Despite once polling at 11.6%, he dwindled to just over 4% on his campaign's final day. Former GOP Speaker Newt Gingrich commended Ramaswamy's endorsement of Trump as "mature and statesmanlike."
