Ramaswamy Out of the Veepstakes

Donald Trump has decided against choosing Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate and is now considering him for a position in his Cabinet, according to sources familiar with the situation as reported by Bloomberg.

The report added that Trump informed Ramaswamy directly that he won't be his choice for vice president. However, he is contemplating offering Ramaswamy positions such as Homeland Security secretary. Certain allies of Trump view Ramaswamy as fitting for the role due to his strong public speaking skills and his background as an Indian-American son of an immigrant, which they believe could help mitigate criticism of stringent immigration policies, as per the Bloomberg report.

I don't find this too surprising. The VP position is the one-heartbeat-away backstop, and hopefully Trump is prioritizing that aspect and will choose a credible potential leader rather than someone to fill a demo. Biden did that, and Dems are stuck with it.
