"This will be specifically I will call a litmus test for anybody who is an appointee in my administration and a clear signal to our own supporters," said Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old tech entrepreneur who is polling a distant fourth in the Republican primary. Ramaswamy has said Haley, who ranks third in most Republican primary polls, risks dragging America into a bloody conflict thanks to her aggressive foreign policy stances. HaleyFormer President Donald Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who polls a distant second, both oppose military or humanitarian aid to Ukraine, a position that Ramaswamy shares. Haley and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is polling in fifth place, favor aid to Ukraine.
"Neocons" refers to neoconservatism, a movement within American conservative thought that tends to advocate for intervention in foreign conflicts.
