Vivek Ramaswamy Says American Values Align More With Republicans Than Democrats

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy warned the Republican Party in a recent Fox Nation series of receiving a “rude surprise” in future elections if it does not get to the bottom of establishing its core identity.

Ramaswamy has been an outspoken defender of conservative values and explained to Spectator that the Republican party does not have a monopoly on the ideals they hold dear. 

“It’s not just Republicans who share those ideals. Most Americans actually do,” Ramaswamy said in his new roundtable Fox Nation series exploring the “truths” behind some of the biggest issues Americans face.

Ramaswamy was venting his irritation at the way in which he said media outlets were painting a picture of a country riven asunder. 

“I traveled this country as a presidential candidate last year and, if I learned one thing, it’s that we’re not really as divided as the media would have you believe. It turns out that 80% of us in this country share the same values in common. And here’s the thing. They’re afraid to talk about it in the open.”

His series, “Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy,” premiered on the Fox News Channel and Fox Nation where he explores conservative values and shares his vision for America. Asked about the GOP’s less-than-stellar results in the 2022 midterm elections, he said complacency may have contributed and that it could again in 2024 — unless party leaders adapt.

“We railed against the Democrats, but without offering an alternative vision of our own,” he said.

“I’m worried we’re going to be in for a rude surprise this November unless we fix that starting right now…”

“We’re not up against a candidate here. We’re up against a machine. We’re not going to win this by obsessing over the other side’s shenanigans. We’re going to win this by answering who we are and what we actually stand for.”

Ramaswamy gave a preview of the series on Fox & Friends Weekend and his new book, Truths that shows how Americans can have open conversations regardless of political party. 

In his own words: “The way we find our path to truth is through free speech and open debate, including with those who disagree with us. So the point of the book is to arm people at home with arguments, to talk to their left-leaning friends, their left-leaning family members at the dinner table.”

The GOP, according to Ramaswamy, must simply embrace what it is and offer a vision of the future.
