Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a rousing speech with former president Donald Trump standing by his side in New Hampshire Tuesday.
Ramaswamy declared, “Right now, we need a commander in chief who will lead us to victory in this war.”
Vivek endorsed Trump after dropping out of the 2024 GOP nomination race on Monday.
“We are in the middle of a war in this country,” Ramaswamy said.
“That’s what this is. It’s not a war between black and white. It’s not between Democrat and Republican, even in a deeper sense, it’s between the permanent state and the everyday citizen, between those of us who love the United States of America and a fringe minority who hates this country and what we stand for.”
“You gotta know you’re in a war to win one,” Ramaswamy continued.
“There is not a better choice left in this race than this man right here.”
“And that is why I am asking you to do the right thing as New Hampshire and to vote for Donald J. Trump as your next president.”
“We’ve been celebrating our diversity and our differences for so long that we forgot all of the ways that we are the same as Americans bound by that common set of ideals that set this country into motion,” Vivek further declared.
“We believe those ideals still exist. This man is gonna be your next president to revive them.”

After Ramaswamys’ speech, Trump told the crowd:
“It’s an honour to have his endorsement. He’s gonna be working with us and he’ll be working with us for a long time. Thank you.”
Trump’s remarks contrast what he said last week, slamming Vivek As “Deceitful” And “Not MAGA.”
Trump also told the crowd that NBC and CNN should “have their licenses taken away” after they broke off from his victory speech in Iowa, opting to broadcast comments from Nikki Haley, who came in third place.
