Vivek Ramaswamy says Republicans 'got our a--es handed to us'
Ramaswamy urges GOP to focus on lowering costs for groceries, health care, housing, and utilities after Republican losses in key races, including a 13-point defeat in New Jersey.
- On Nov. 4, Vivek Ramaswamy, Ohio governor candidate, said `We got our asses handed to us` and urged Republicans to stop playing `identity politics` and focus on character over race or religion.
- With wins in New Jersey, Virginia and New York City, Republicans fell short as Democrats swept highly watched races on Tuesday, prompting Ramaswamy's assessment.
- Ramaswamy said the party must prioritize affordability, naming groceries, health care, housing and utilities, and urged emphasis on character over background, saying `We don't care about the color of your skin or your religion` and `We care about the content of your character.`
- Ramaswamy, who is running to replace Mike DeWine, has the state GOP and President Donald Trump's endorsement, while Trump wrote on Truth Social that `TRUMP WASN'T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,` a competing explanation pundits noted.
- Ramaswamy's national profile, built during 2024, informs his critique as some Republican attacks on Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayoral victor, highlight identity politics tied to his South Asian Muslim background and Uganda birthplace.
