CHICAGO — Across town from where the Democratic Party was preoccupied with coronating Vice President Kamala Harris as its presidential nominee during the Democratic National Convention, Vivek Ramaswamy swung by the Windy City’s Trump Hotel to stump for the former president. In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner, the billionaire biotech entrepreneur who overlapped with former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), while at Yale Law School reflected on the attacks levied at him by Harris’s running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).
“That’s a mark of pride in the United States, that somebody’s able to go from humble backgrounds, people like myself or J.D., to be able to achieve an educational experience at some of the best universities that exist in the world, right here in the United States,” said Ramaswamy, a former primary challenger to Trump. “That’s a pretty bizarre thing for Tim Walz to actually go after.”
