Iowa Republican State Senator Defects, Switches GOP Presidential Candidate Endorsement from DeSantis to Ramaswamy
Iowa State Senator Scott Webster (R-Bettendorf) has announced his support of GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The endorsement comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign had listed Webster as a DeSantis backer.
“Over the past few months, I’ve been able to get to know Vivek and learn how deeply we are aligned on the need to speak hard truths and find real solutions to the issues we face as a nation today,” Webster said in a press release. “Vivek has the knowledge and drive needed to bring the America First agenda to the next level while charismatically delivering an optimistic vision not heard since Ronald Reagan.”
It may be that I like Ramaswamy just a leeetle bit better than I like DeSantis. Overall, I'm still leaning Trumpward, but Ramaswamy might make for an excellent VP pick for Trump. No disrespect to DeSantis, who has a years-long track record as the governor of a populous state. Both DeSantis and Ramaswamy strike me as mentally agile. If those two ever sat down with Trump for, say, a Rogan-hosted, free-form chat, I think Trump, whatever his bumper-sticker wit, would get left in the dust. Not because he's a mental midget, but because he's nowhere near as articulate and nowhere near as quick on the draw because of his age.
Anything is better than what we currently have. We'll see what dirty tricks the left comes up with to steal the next election. It's the only hope they have.
