Vivek Ramaswamy struggles to gain traction with Iowa Republicans as critics question his path ahead
- Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican candidate in the 2024 primary race, is struggling to gain momentum and is polling in the mid to high single digits. Critics question his endgame and speculate whether he is only running to boost former President Donald Trump.
