Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and his wife Apoorva are launching a scholarship program to “foster American national pride among” the nation’s youth.
“We have a 25 percent recruitment deficit in the U.S. military. Amongst users of TikTok, who are teenagers, about 60 percent of them say they would rather give up their right to vote than give up their social media accounts,” he said, adding:
This is dire, but we’re not going to sit around and wait for the government to solve all of our problems. Many of those problems require those of us who are parents, those of us who have lived the American Dream, to step up and do our part in addressing those problems as well. That’s what we’re doing today.
He also noted that the scholarship is in honor of his son Arjun, who turned one year old on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the family marched in Ramaswamy’s hometown Independence Day parade. One year ago, we did our neighborhood parade & then went straight to the hospital where Apoorva gave birth to Arjun. Today the little man joined us for it! So grateful for our family & our country. Happy Fourth! 🇺🇸
