The comparison is hard not to make, but Vivek's not Pete.
GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy's political trajectory is still unclear. His debate performance elevated him, but it is hard to say if it will translate into shaking up a race that seems to otherwise revolve around former President Donald Trump. | Dylan Hollingsworth/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesIt’s hard to find two more different political players than breakout presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The old clips sparked even more comparisons, with Washington’s political professional and pundit classes now comparing the two politicians’ biographies — two cable-curious Harvard students who went on to position themselves as millennial upstarts in their respective presidential campaigns. I felt compelled to explore this comparison because I have spent an unnatural amount of time with each of them — and because the comparison is more than just a curiosity. It speaks to a generational conflict between older, more established politicians — who still dominate the power centers in both parties — and the rare upstart who catches fire.
