Vivek Ramaswamy

My opponent, my democratic opponent, daily accuses me of being a billionaire.

It's probably one of the few true things that she says, but I wasn't born a billionaire.

I wasn't born a millionaire.

I wasn't born in anything air.

I was born in air to nothing, actually, literally.

But what I love and what I'm so grateful to is a country that allowed me to achieve those things and God willing, being in a position to lead the state where I was born and raised.

That story is only possible in the United States of America.

And I am so grateful to this state and to this country for giving me those opportunities that I feel a moral duty to revive that American dream where we teach our kids the number one factor that determines what you achieve in life.

is you.

That was the lesson of my upbringing.

It's not the billionaires.

It's not the white people.

It's not the black people.

It's not the patriarchy.

It's not the Jews.

It's not the foreigners.

It's none of those things.

It is you.

That's what the American dream is built on.

That's what I'm running this campaign on.
