  • Bill Ackman, a prominent hedge fund manager, predicts that Vivek Ramaswamy will emerge victorious in the Republican primary race for the 2024 presidential election.
  • Vivek Ramaswamy, a successful entrepreneur and anti-woke activist, is currently ranked fourth in the GOP opinion polls, trailing behind Mike Pence, Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump.
  • While Ackman supports Ramaswamy, his preferred candidate for president is Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan.

Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has made a bold prediction regarding the Republican primary race for the 2024 presidential election. Ackman believes that Vivek Ramaswamy, despite trailing behind in the GOP primary polls, will emerge as the winner. He describes Ramaswamy as a young, smart, and talented individual who will attract support from the center-right with his ability to speak hard truths. Ackman compares Ramaswamy to past successful unlikely candidates, emphasizing that improbable contenders often win.

Ramaswamy, a businessman born to Indian immigrant parents, has a diverse educational background with a bachelor’s degree in biology from Harvard and a doctorate in law from Yale Law School. After working in investment management, he founded the biopharma portfolio-holding company Roivant Sciences and later co-founded Strive Asset Management. Presenting himself as an anti-woke activist, Ramaswamy declared his candidacy for the GOP primary race in February. Although currently ranked fourth in GOP opinion polls, he has been gaining momentum and is expected to challenge prominent figures like Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis.

 

Despite his endorsement of Ramaswamy, Ackman’s first-choice candidate for president remains Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan. Ackman believes that the U.S. needs a more centrist leader, although Dimon has not yet entered the race. Ackman expresses hope that Dimon will decide to run, envisioning a hypothetical matchup between Dimon and Ramaswamy as an intellectually stimulating and exciting presidential race. He highlights the talent and intelligence of both individuals and imagines a world where they compete for the highest office in the country.
