He opposes a national ban but supports six-week state bans.
The entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has said that abortion should be left to states while nonetheless calling it “murder.” He has said he supports six-week bans at the state level.
He opposes all government efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
I will abandon the climate cult in all of its forms.
This is a framework that we’ve gotten totally wrong.
It’s what they call the anti-impact framework.
It treats carbon as the bad guy,
and says we have to measure it and decrease carbon emissions
at all costs.
That has shackled the American energy sector,
and that is the No. 1 obstacle to G.D.P. growth
in this country.
He opposes military aid and wants Ukraine to concede territory in exchange for Russia breaking with China.
“I don’t think it is preferable for Russia to be able to invade a sovereign country that is its neighbor, but I think the job of the U.S. president is to look after American interests, and what I think the No. 1 threat to the U.S. military is right now, our top military threat, is the Sino-Russian alliance.”
He has proposed some of the most aggressive stances of any candidate.
Vivek Ramaswamy, the son of Indian immigrants, has called for securing the border by any means necessary, including military force. This could violate an 1878 law that forbids the use of federal troops for civilian law enforcement, but Mr. Ramaswamy argues that securing the border isn’t civilian law enforcement.
He is Trump’s fiercest defender and has denounced the justice system in incendiary terms.
The entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has repeatedly cast the indictments as examples of “the ruling party” using “police power to arrest its political rivals,” and has urged other candidates to pledge to pardon Mr. Trump.
He has proposed hard-line policies, including forbidding U.S. companies to do business in China.
Vivek Ramaswamy, like many candidates, describes China as the biggest geopolitical and military threat to the United States.
He says he would increase G.D.P. growth by stopping efforts to combat climate change.
Our Federal Reserve —
the U.S. Fed —
it’s been trying to play God over the financial system
for far too long.
Except effectively, it’s been the equivalent of playing God
with a fat finger.
The Fed has done a disastrous job
in its mandate of trying to balance
inflation and unemployment.
It’s like the equivalent of trying to hit two targets
with a single arrow.
I’m going to put the Fed back in its place by telling them
to focus on stabilizing the U.S. dollar.
You could say as measured against a basket
of currencies.
And that should be their sole mandate.
You shouldn’t even know who — most Americans,
at least shouldn’t know the name of who’s leading
the Federal Reserve because it should be such a
ministerial function.
