Millennial Republican and biotech CEO Vivek Ramaswamy is running as the youngest candidate in his party’s presidential primary, a fact he often mentions at his campaign events.
“Take it from me as a young person — I’m 37 years old. I was born in 1985. I truly hope and pray and believe that my best days may still be ahead of me,” he said at the Faith and Freedom conference in Washington, D.C. in June.
Though he’s campaigning as the “young” candidate, Ramaswamy would like to make it a little harder for the nation’s youngest voters to cast a ballot.
