Republicans turn against Vivek Ramaswamy: 'He's a tech guy, Ohio is blue collar'

Outgoing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis nuked Vivek Ramaswamy following his defeat in the Ohio gubernatorial election, arguing that the Republican candidate failed to connect with the state's working-class voters because of his business background and support for foreign workers on visas. Speaking on the Sage Steele Show, DeSantis questioned why Republicans had backed Ramaswamy as their candidate in Ohio, describing the state as predominantly working-class and blue-collar."I don't know why they would have pushed him to be the candidate there.

Oh, my mom's from Youngstown. Ohio is a working class state, very blue collar.

You know Vivek, he's like a tech guy," DeSantis said.Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and founder of Roivant Sciences, lost the gubernatorial race to Democratic candidate Amy Acton by 7.9 percentage points.
