Ramaswamy hasn't slowed down on the trail as his poll numbers have risen, making stops in seven states in the week leading up to the first Republican primary debate
to voters along Trump's initial, disruptive run. And like the former president, Ramaswamy's policies sometimes break from the bipartisan consensus in Washington, such as when he suggested he would allow China to invade the self-governing island of Taiwan once the U.S. no longer needs Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing power.
Ramaswamy calls himself a "free-speech absolutist," running on a slogan of "TRUTH" and opposing all hate speech laws. Asked by ABC News why he thinks voters should believe that he's equipped to be president with no experience in public office, Ramaswamy, 38, said: "When it comes to the next president of the United States, I think we absolutely need an outsider .... one preferably from a different generation."
His goal, he said, is to "restore integrity and accountability to government to dismantle the bureaucracy in Washington."
