Trump world revels over Ramaswamy poll uptick to jab DeSantisBy Ryan King
July 23, 2023
Some allies of Donald Trump appear giddy over GOP foe Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent uptick in the polls — because it means the entrepreneur is gaining on the former president’s hated key rival Ron DeSantis.
Ramaswamy, who is now clocking in at 5.9 percentage points in the key RealClearPolitics aggregate, toppled former Vice President Mike Pence at 5.7 points to take over a distant third place among Republican hopefuls behind Florida Gov. DeSantis at 19.3 and Trump at a commanding 51 points.
And unlike many of Trump’s rivals who often face the wrath of his supporters, the 37-year-old Ramaswamy’s rise appears to be getting a somewhat warm reception — at least for now.
A multitude of Trump allies have latched onto Ramaswamy as a cudgel against DeSantis, with whom they have chaffed bitterly.
