“You joined TikTok after dinner with boxer and influencer Jake Paul. Should the commander-in-chief be so easily persuaded by an influencer?” The moderator, Stuart Varney, questioned Vivek.
Vivek responded, “So the answer is, I have a radical idea for the Republican Party. We need to win elections, and part of how we win elections is reaching the next generation of young Americans where they are.”
While expressing concern about the risks of social media, Ramaswamy also stated that he was using TikTok to reach out to younger voters.
