Vivek Ramaswamy announced his candidacy for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination in February 2023.
The biotech entrepreneur, who is the son of Indian immigrants, was Harvard and Yale-educated.
After the Iowa caucus, he suspended his campaign and backed former President Donald Trump.

Vivek Ramaswamy might not have a background in politics, but that didn't stop him from becoming one of the first candidates to announce their run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, behind only former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
