Vivek Ramaswamy: GOP Has Become ‘A Party of Losers’

The Epoch Times Header

‘Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022,’ he said.

Five Republican candidates gathered for a third debate in Miami, Florida on Wednesday, the day after the GOP suffered yet another string of election losses.

Among the different elections held across the country, former President Donald Trump-endorsed GOP candidate Daniel Cameron lost his fight for Kentucky governor to Democrat Andy Beshear. Virginia’s Republican governor watched both the state House of Representatives, and the state Senate turn blue. And the pro-life cause suffered a major defeat in Ohio, with voters there saying “yes” to a constitutional amendment that guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion.

“We’ve become a party of losers,” said businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in his opening statement.

The entrepreneur and youngest Republican candidate in history put the blame for the losses on the party establishment, calling for the Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to resign.

“Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022,” he said. “We got trounced last night in 2023, and I think that we have to have accountability in our party.

“For that matter, Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will turn over [and] yield my time to you.”

Losing the Battle on Abortion

Mr. Ramaswamy also spoke on the abortion vote that occurred in his home state of Ohio.

“They passed a constitutional amendment that now effectively codifies a right to abortion all the way up to the time of birth without parental consent,” he said, blaming it on what he called “the Republican culture of losing.”

“The Republicans did not have an alternative amendment or vision on the table,” he said. “It’s representative of the country.”

“You got to do a better job on these referenda,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “All the stuff that’s happened to the pro-life cause, they had been caught flat-footed on these referenda, and they had been losing the referenda.
