Recently announced Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy finished at 1% support in the 2024 Republican nomination straw poll conducted at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last past weekend.

I was shocked. You know, there’s a lot of people who are making money not only off of me, but off of every presidential campaign," he claimed on Fox Business' "Varney and Co."
