Voters looking into the new candidate are interested in what he has to say, but that’s different from banking their votes.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Vivek Ramaswamy appeared at 11 public events in New Hampshire over Labor Day weekend, following a dozen stops in Iowa last week. He spoke to packed audiences throughout the packed schedule, reflecting growing interest in his presidential campaign since the August debate.
About half of those who spoke to NBC News said they plan to support Trump. Granite State voter Bob Landry, who listened to Ramaswamy speak in North Conway, New Hampshire, is leaning toward Trump in 2024 because “he knows where all the bodies are buried,” he said. Lilly Becanze listened to Ramaswamy speak at the Lancaster Fair. She told NBC News that she will be supporting Trump but would like to see Ramaswamy in the vice president position, adding, “The two of them together would be amazing and that’s what a lot of people want.”
When voters ask Ramaswamy why he is running against Trump, he assures them the former president will be a senior adviser, with lines like, “I expect President Trump to serve as one of my most meaningful, probably my most meaningful adviser and mentor when I’m in the White House.” Of course, there are plenty of voters attending 2024 campaign events in search of a new candidate to support, and Ramaswamy is appealing to them.
