According to a recent Pew Research Centre survey, Democrats and Republicans in Congress today ideologically stand more apart than at any point in the previous 50 years.
Ramaswamy also asserted that, regardless of party identification, all Americans ought to be able to agree on some fundamental aspects of policy and that political polarisation is exaggerated in the media and by other politicians.
Ramaswamy stated, “You will be taught to believe that this is a 50-50 tug of war in this country, we’re on our way to a breaking point — that’s false. I can tell you as somebody who has now been to a majority of states over the last couple of years, and for this campaign, that division is artificial. It is made up. It is a projection designed to divide and conquer the people.”

Ramaswamy stated, “As your next U.S. president if you all put me there, we will shut down the unconstitutional ‘fourth branch.

Ramaswamy, who has previously stated that he thinks climate change is a hoax, repeated at the event on Friday that he thinks policies to assist the development of renewable energy are harmful to the position of the United States in the global economy.
Ramaswamy added, “We will drill, we will frack, we will burn coal, we will embrace nuclear (energy),”
