Presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy questioned President Biden’s re-election campaign, saying the commander-in-chief is being used as a “puppet”.
Ramaswamy told Fox News on Monday that Biden has become a vehicle for broader institutions to assert power through the executive branch.
“It is a myth that Joe Biden is running for president. He is not,” said Ramaswamy. “It is simply the management class that Joe Biden is using as a cover to advance his own agenda. To them, Biden’s cognitive impairment is not a bug. It’s a feature.

Ramaswamy, who is running for president in 2024 on the Republican ticket, called Biden’s re-election campaign “elder abuse” and likened the president to a “hollowed-out shell.”
“The administrative state controls its puppets more effectively when they are hollowed-out husks of themselves. The fact that it’s elder abuse is just a cost of doing business for Biden’s handlers. Revealingly, the DNC is refusing to host primary debates this year; they spit in the face of their supporters.”

Ramaswamy added, “This is how the management class is crushing ordinary citizens – not with a bang, but with a whimper.”
Biden’s campaign announcement comes on the four-year anniversary of the launch of his 2020 presidential campaign, and is expected to come via a campaign video, according to reports last week.

A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Monday, which polled an equal number of voters who supported Biden and former President Trump, found that about 40% of those who voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election do not believe that he should seek re-election.

About 35% of respondents said they would vote for a third party instead of Biden in 2024, even if it meant Trump had a better chance of winning the election.
