American entrepreneur and 2024 GOP primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been increasing in popularity ahead of the first Republican debate next month. The first-time politician is currently ranked third in the most recent FOX News poll, trailing behind the front-runner, former President Donald Trump, and the runner-up, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Ramaswamy joins the Rundown to discuss what attributes make him a top contender in the primary race, explains the contradictory statements he has made about the former president and the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, and shares why he would not be satisfied in the vice president position if the opportunity presented itself.
