America Elections: Close contest between Vivek Ramaswamy and Kristi Noem for the candidacy for the post of Vice President in America – Dainik Savera Times

Washington: There is a close contest between South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and Indian-origin biotechnology entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in the race to get the Vice Presidential nomination from the Republican Party in the US presidential elections. According to reports, in a poll conducted at the ‘Conservative Political Action Conference’ (CPAC), both Christie and Ramaswamy got 15-15 percent votes. The results were announced after its four-day meeting that concluded on Saturday.

Vivek Ramaswamy (38) was born in Cincinnati. He is the child of an Indian immigrant couple. Ramaswamy had tried to seek the Republican presidential nomination this year but dropped out of the race after finishing fourth in the January polls in Iowa.

At the same time, 52-year-old Kristi Noem became the first female governor of South Dakota in 2018. Trump had endorsed his name. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she was at the center of national attention for her refusal to issue a statewide mandate for vaccinations and mask-wearing. According to reports, this is the first time in many years that who the Republican Party should nominate for the post of Vice President has become a bigger topic than the presidential candidacy.

According to reports, this is also because Donald Trump (77) has, as expected, defeated Nikki Haley by a huge vote in the race for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party. It said the last time Trump was not the top favorite candidate for the White House among CPAC attendees was in 2016, when Texas Senator Ted Cruz finished first. Trump on Sunday registered a landslide victory over his Indian-American rival Haley in the Republican primary in South Carolina. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Indian-origin House of Representatives member from Hawaii, came in third place with nine percent of the votes.
