Joe Biden drops out of 2024 US Elections: Vivek Ramaswamy, the Indian-American businessman-turned-politician, had eight months ago predicted that US President Joe Biden would not be the Democratic Party's nominee for the US Presidential election 2024.
Soon after US President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the 2024 US Presidential race on Sunday, Vivek Ramaswamy claimed his prophecy had come true.
The 81-year-old gave in to political pressure and declared that he was ending his re-election campaign. This comes weeks after a disastrous debate with former US President Donald Trump that raised doubts about his fitness for office.
Joe Biden endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's candidate to face Republican nominee Donald Trump in the November US Presidential election.
Taking to micro-blogging platform X, Vivek Ramaswamy posted, “Best way to predict the future: just follow the incentives. It’s shocking how precisely right you can be, right down to the exact timing.”
The 38-year-old Republican attached a video from his interview with Fox News last November along with the post.
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk replied, “Yeah, all his predictions have come true.”
To this, Vivek Ramaswamy responded, “Wish it weren’t so.”
In an interview with Fox News last November, the 38-year-old Republican had said, “I think that the reality is the managerial class around Biden has lost their use for him." He added, “This has been obvious to me since last year to play out the incentives. He is not the strongest candidate they can put up. And these people have stopped at nothing to keep Donald J Trump out of office.”
At that time, Vivek Ramaswamy was the Republican presidential candidate in the primaries along with Donald Trump. Furthermore, the Indian-American had predicted that Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama would most likely be chosen as the Democratic Presidential nominees.
Social media influencer, Tristane Tate in a post on X said, “Let’s give credit where credit is due. For almost a year, one man has been saying Biden won’t be the Democratic nominee and predicting a last-minute blindside. People called him crazy.” She applauded Vivek Ramaswamy after his prediction came true.
During one of the Republican presidential debates, Vivek Ramaswamy had made a similar prediction.
Journalist Raheem Kassam pointed out that corporate media reporters were “sneering and laughing” when Vivek Ramaswamy had made this point in the debate. He posted on X, "They’re not laughing now!”
