Watch: Vivek Ramaswamy answers voters’ questions in New Hampshire town hall



Businessman and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, of Ohio, will bring his campaign to Exeter Town Hall on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. EST, as part of a series of town hall forums in New Hampshire, hosted by the USA TODAY Network.

In his first run for political office, Ramaswamy has gained traction with Republican primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and across the nation.

On the campaign trail Ramaswamy points to “10 Truths”: “God is real; there are two genders; human flourishing requires fossil fuels; reverse racism is racism; an open border is no border; parents determine the education of their children; the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind; capitalism lifts people up from poverty; there are three branches of the U.S. government, not four; the U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.”

  1. Instead of supporting Israel because “it’s the right things to do for the US”.. I would have hoped Vivek show some spine and stand for the truth as he does most of the time … shame that he supports genocide…

  2. Overall very intelligent and has great policies in mind, he's just plain cool. vivek 2024 🎉❤

  3. That question at 36:07 is killer.

  4. For anyone interested in skipping to the moment where Vivek gets eviscerated, and his NH campaign essentially ends, it's 36:10. Has anyone checked on him to make sure he can see after that onslaught?

  5. Its so sad to see people that want to ignore the truth of this man. He is capitalizing on the ignorance of the American public. None of them ask what does gutting the government look like? People dont think of the government protections they would lose because they dont know how it works so they dont care. It reminds me of the signs people had that said " keep your government hands off my medicare" not realizing Medicare is a government program. He wants to gut the Dept of Education, He wants to get rid of immigration policy that his own family took advantage of. His father isnt a citizen and his mother gained citizenship after he was born but will tout the immigrant demonization because he knows that what white conservatives want to hear. These same people keep voting for the same person in congress that actually makes the laws but want a president to be an outsider so he can do everything by executive order. Why do conservative look at people with money as leaders? making money for yourself and being willing to lie for personal gain can get you millions, but how does that translate to looking out for all Americans? People complain of government overreach, but are supporting people who want to make sure there are no guardrails for that overreach.
    Its also sad that simply speaking fast with conviction and certainty is seen as leadership worthy. Those same traits are those of a narcissist. i cant believe people want to hand government and their resources over to private corporations so when sh1t hits the fan they simply file bankruptcy and leave you holding all the responsibility like Texas power companies.

  6. He may be the youngest candidate but he is also the wisest. Let’s put a Grownup in the White House! Vivek Ramaswamy 2024

  7. I guess I spotted a ex JNU student

  8. God I fear for this country after reading all these comments of support for Vivek. He’s a fascist that has the gift of gab. I think people don’t understand what his policies would actually do to this country… scary.

  9. Another stage act copied from Obama. Don’t be fooled by his sales pitch. The old saying go’s like this. If you can’t DAZZLE the people with Brilliance. Then BAFFLE them with bullzhit. Sad part is he means well. But he is knows the young people today would play on their phones then to get up each mourning and go to work. Vivek should be talking about employees ultra low pay wages. People cannot make a normal living on minimum wages. Force these candidates to answer your terrible paycheck.

  10. Most intelligent candidate running.

  11. DDDAAAMMMNNN – At least there is one smart and sane person there. Not only did she blast his snake oil bullshit, but she threw in TFG as a kicker.

  12. You came here for 36:10
    No appreciation needed

  13. He will never be president!! Joe Biden going to win again in 2024 election!! No Maga republicans has a chance to win in 2024!

  14. At 36:13. What a read. How that wonderful woman exposed his lack of actual credentials. The best part of this meeting. Well done to her.

  15. Another Obama no experience and say what people want to hear and they will vote

  16. The Indian guy that asked the Israel question pretty much threw a litmus test to see if Vivek would be another traditional politician that would side with Israel because it makes him look good, and Vivek has shown me he’s just another one. There no problem with protecting your ally’s but for Vivek to act like the prime minister hasn’t done wrong is the problem with our leaders! We should advise our Allys when they do wrong, instead of backing them up and creating excuses for their actions. The death tolls between Palestinians and Jews are not anywhere close enough to even justify a “defense” or “retaliation” on Israel’s behalf. So that was a very puppet answer from Vivek and that shows he can be corrupted. Im all for his policies but as a president you can’t look away and then justify your Ally’s despicable behavior after it’s done, you got to call a spade a spade.
