made money through ventures, and he is running against donald trump for president. why are we talking about this person? he is running and auditioning to be what looks like the republican party s heir apparent in a post-trump world, whatever that looks like and whenever that may come. this is interesting and matters because, unlike other candidates who might try to be too close to trump or even be trumpier than trump, he s actually been receiving praise from the former president. there are suggestions there s this weird perhaps alliance between the two. corey lewandowski who used to work with former president trump is now talking to work with ramaswamy s super pac. trump has praised him to rise in the polls to just 5%, but tying with his former vp mike pence. it is because ramaswamy has been positioning himself as this outsider, anti-establishment candidate, but one who would
casey in a general election. now, you have doug mastriano, who lost by double digits in pennsylvania s gubernatorial primary to governor josh shapiro i should say the general election he got out of the gubernatorial primary. he wants to get into the senate race despite his very big loss last year. once again, republicans in pennsylvania are grappling with this issue of, you know, they have their primary base, but they have to think about the general election there is this fear that doug mastriano could really get in the way of a more establishment candidate, like dave mccormick but democrats say either one of these candidates would be good to run against, citing mastriano s loss in the general election and dave mccormick s loss to mehmet oz in the primary last year. it is striking to me, julia we re going to see this play out again in similar fashion, whether these voters end up going with a trumpier candidate, like they did with oz after that
