'Hey, it's Vivek': Did Ramaswamy send a message to followers that he's trailing in Ohio?

A purported screenshot of a message apparently sent by Vivek Ramaswamy to his donors and supporters went viral at a time the Indian-origin GOP Ohio Guv candidate is facing an all-out attack primarily for his Indian origin. "Hey, it's Vivek, Thanks for taking the time to open my note to you -- it means a lot. I wanted to share the latest polling numbers in my race for Governor of Ohio," the message read showing Ramaswamy at 46% and his challenger, Dem candidate Dr Amy Acton at 47%.

"You read that right...the Democrats just took the lead in Ohio," the message read. While this was a normal fundraising email, it became social media fodder as Vivek-critics claimed that he acknowledged that he is trailing in Ohio.

Vivek Ramaswamy's veiled threat to sue people calling him fraud

The campaign message went viral at a time Vivek Ramaswamy is facing backlash for standing up to people who called him a fraud. Vivek's campaign issued a statement clarifying Vivek's past involvement in his biotech companies and how he did not sell the shares before the companies sank. Ramaswamy said those who are sharing 'defamatory lies' against him should save the records instead of deleting them -- a veiled threat to sue them.

Vivek Ramaswamy's NYT article on what Americanism is triggered a major row, just like his Christmas post of 2024 supporting the H-1B. In his NYT article, he called Nick Fuentes out for his use of racial slurs against Second Lady Usha Vance for her Indian origin. Ramaswamy said the Republican movement should not embrace Groyperism, which egged Fuentes on to declare that he would campaign against Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio. A section of MAGA has now rallied behind Casey Putsch as the alternative candidate from GOP who recently threat the hat in the primary ring.
