Ramaswamy's National Political Director Joins Trump Campaign

Move Seen as Setback for Ramaswamy's Struggling Campaign, as Trump Continues to Lead in Polls

Brian Swensen, the national political director for Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign, has resigned to join Donald Trump's re-election campaign.
Swensen's departure is seen as a setback for Ramaswamy's campaign, which has struggled to maintain momentum, polling at around 5% in national Republican polling.
Swensen's responsibilities in New Hampshire will be absorbed by Ramaswamy senior advisor Mike Biundo.
Ramaswamy's campaign has announced plans to hold over 200 events in Iowa before the January 15 caucuses, with a new headquarters housing 30 full-time staff and a 7-day-a-week call center.
Despite his low polling numbers, Ramaswamy has rejected assertions that his campaign has lost momentum and is confident of success in the early states.
