Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy teases role in Donald Trump’s second administration

Vivek Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate and staunch Donald Trump supporter, hinted at a potential position in the 47th US president’s incoming cabinet, stating that he has a “few good options” at his disposal.

Jonathan Karl asked the biotech entrepreneur during his Sunday appearance on ABC’s This Week whether he would be a member of another Trump administration, said to be crafted by the Trump transition team around political appointees who prioritize devotion to the president-elect above. something else.

When asked what specific position he would lead, the Indian-American biotech entrepreneur was vague, but acknowledged that he was engaged in “high-impact discussions” about his future.

“There are a couple of good options on the table,” Ramaswamy said, as Karl brought up the soon-to-be vacant Senate seat in Ohio, now held by Vice President-elect JD Vance, and the job of director of Homeland Security. , during the discussion. He went on to say that he intends to make the biggest possible impact on this nation.

A look at possible options on Ramaswamy’s table

It is said that Ramaswamy will most likely pursue the two positions Karl mentions.

Ramaswamy would be responsible for implementing and crafting the details of Trump’s immigration policy if he gets the job as director of the Department of Homeland Security. Earlier, Trump promised that if re-elected, he would begin America’s first mass deportation operation in the modern era, aimed at removing at least one million illegal immigrants from the United States.

On the other hand, Ramaswamy may have a simpler path to becoming a political sensation in Ohio. This election cycle, his home state has turned very red because Democrats at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and elsewhere in Washington have dismissed the state as a lost cause in presidential contests.

Vance’s Ohio seat will become vacant in January due to his election as vice president, and the state’s Republican governor will appoint someone to fill it. A special election will be held in 2026 to determine who will serve out Vance’s term.
