US Elections 2024 : Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is openly supporting Donald Trump in tomorrow's US presidential elections, has shared a video of Vivek Ramaswamy explaining to Pennsylvania voters why they should support Donald Trump . Musk shared Ramaswamy’s video, who earlier was in the White House race but withdrawn and openly declared support for Trump, saying “I love this.”
Vivek Ramaswamy was speaking to Pennsylvania voters when a person wearing Trump 2024 t-shirt asked him “why one should support Trump, what’s the real reason, why, because a lot of people here are confused?”
Responding to the question, Vivek Ramaswamy said, “A Pennsylvania voter wearing a “Trump 2024” hat asked me to make the case for voting for Trump. To opponents, I usually cite the border, economy, and avoiding war. But I gave this young man the deeper answer. It’s about reviving our national self-confidence.”
“The reason why I’m going to vote for Trump because I think about whose gonna make my son more proud to be an American and grow up in a country greater than the one we knew,” Vivek Ramaswamy added.
In January, after the 2024 Iowa caucuses, Ramaswamy ended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.
Musk endorses Trump
Elon Musk, speaking at a town hall in Pennsylvania to support Republican Donald Trump, played down the January 6 attack on the US Capitol and exhorted supporters to cast votes early in the presidential swing state while describing mail ballots as a “recipe for fraud."
The freewheeling session inside a ballroom at a hotel in downtown Lancaster touched on a dizzying range of topics, from space exploration and the Tesla cybertruck to immigration and the efficacy of psychiatric drugs. The town hall was part of Musk's efforts through his super PAC to help boost Trump in swing states ahead of the November 5 presidential election against Democrat Kamala Harris.
Musk, whom Trump has vowed to give a role in his administration if he wins next month, spent nearly two hours taking questions from town hall participants. While most were laudatory and covered a variety of topics, one was particularly pointed: A man wanted to know what Musk would say to concerns from voters that Trump's election could lead to democracy backsliding in the US considering his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
While calling it a fair question, Musk also said that the January 6 attack by Trump's supporters has been called “some sort of violent insurrection, which is simply not the case" — a response that drew applause from the crowd. More than 100 law enforcement personnel were injured in the attack, some beaten with their own weapons, when a mob of Trump supporters who believed his lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of votes.
