Indian-American Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is planning to announce his 2024 presidential bid. Ramaswamy for the time being has embarked on test runs and fact-finding missions in Iowa- where he has been addressing multiple events. Ramaswamy insisted that his trip to Iowa and other prep work he is doing for a potential run are serious. According to a report by Politico on Monday (February 13), Ramaswamy is exploring a run for president, testing, among other things, whether his warnings about the dangers of 'wokeism' and socially-responsible investing have political currency with Republican politicians, business leaders and farmers. Who is Vivek Ramaswamy? Vivek Ramaswamy, 37, is an entrepreneur and author who has founded multiple enterprises. He has been dubbed by the New Yorker Magazine as the "CEO of Anti-Woke Inc." He was born on August 9, 1985, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His parents immigrated from India. Ramaswamy's father worked as an engineer at General Electric while his mother was a geriatric psychiatrist. Ramaswamy graduated summa cum laude in biology from Harvard in 2007 his career as a biotech investor at a prominent hedge fund. He continued to work as an investor while earning his law degree at Yale. According to his website, Ramaswamy emerged as a prominent national commentator on stakeholder capitalism, free speech, and identity politics in 2020. 'I’ve developed a vision for American national identity' Speaking to Politico, Vivek Ramaswamy said “I believe that I’ve developed a vision for American national identity that I have a deep conviction for and is the product of my own journey of having lived the gifts that this country has afforded me.” Ramaswamy first considered pursuing elected office in 2021, when he weighed making a bid for Senate in Ohio. However, he chose not to. The report said that Ramaswamy's net worth is reportedly in excess of $500 million, which is enough to seed his campaign through the key early states. The 37-year-old has already fashioned a policy platform which includes defeating China economically, reforming the national security apparatus and firing the managerial class of the federal government. Ramaswamy said on Thursday that he is plotting out his potential cabinet too, impressed with the intellect of former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and the likes of Senator Tom Cotton, former governor of Arizona Doug Ducey and governor of Iowa Kim Reynolds.

Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy planning to run for US President: Report

United States President Joe Biden, 80, has dismissed concerns about his age ahead of an expected reelection campaign in 2024. Some people have raised concerns that Biden will be 82 when the next presidential election takes place. At 80, Biden is the oldest president in American history. In an interview with the PBS Newshour on Wednesday (February 8), Biden said “Watch me. That’s all I can say,” while confirming that he plans to make another bid for the White House.&nbsp;

“I would be completely, thoroughly honest with the American people if I thought there was any health problem — anything — that would keep me from being able to do the job,” the President said, adding, “We’ll see but I think people just have to watch me."&nbsp;

Joe Biden has been facing renewed calls from some leaders in the Democratic Party for a new generation of leadership. According to an Associated Press NORC poll, a majority of Democrats said they preferred that Biden not run again.&nbsp;

During his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Biden called for American citizens to finish the job which seemed as a prelude to the 80-year-old seeking a second term as president. "Let's finish the job, there's more to do," he said, news agency Reuters reported. Biden also touted the achievements of his first term in office, including low unemployment and the passage of climate, health and infrastructure laws.&nbsp;

However, he will have to face major vulnerability if he runs again. As per a Washington Post-ABC News survey, over six in ten Americans did not believe he accomplished much in his first two years in office.&nbsp;

On Wednesday, Dr Nadia Brown of Georgetown University said that many citizens didn't feel, or the polling said they were not that thrilled with Biden.

"They also are not really that thrilled with Donald Trump. But no one else has emerged. So I think we are just in this blah kind of wait-and-see. Perhaps fortunately for Biden, Trump has a lot more real reasons, like legal constraints, and ethical concerns, that would prohibit him from running. Whereas Biden just seems to have this likability issue, And the fact that he is the oldest American president," Dr Brown said.&nbsp;

"I can't think of a demographic group that he has locked up. And even die-hard steadfast Democrats like him, but they don't love him. I think that's the issue with Democrats, right. Democrats want to love their candidate, they want to feel warm and fuzzy and giddy inside, right. Republicans are more utilitarian, can this person get the job done, in the way I think the job should be done, and we are going there. So that's the uphill battle," she added, Reuters reported.&nbsp;
