Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pulled back the curtain on the “whole game” as he delivered eyebrow-raising predictions about the 2024 race to the White House.

In a video posted Wednesday evening shortly after news that GOP contender Chris Christie dropped out of the race, Ramaswamy addressed the direction of the “two-horse race” between former President Donald Trump – still the reigning GOP frontrunner in polls – and a “puppet” within the Republican Party “who they can control.”

Here’s the plot:
1. Narrow this to a 2-horse race between Trump & a puppet they can control.
2. Eliminate Trump.
3. Trot their puppet into the White House.

Prediction: next up, Ron DeSantis joins Nikki Haley’s ticket as VP. Ron may not know it yet, but he won’t have a say in the… pic.twitter.com/EZzWn4WVya

That “puppet,” the entrepreneur suggested, is former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.

“I’m going to make a prediction,” Ramaswamy continued. “You’re actually going to see Ron DeSantis join Nikki Haley’s ticket. He’s going to be her VP. The whole game, it’s hiding in plain sight.”

“This system will stop at nothing. And I mean, nothing, to eliminate Donald Trump from contention. It’s disgusting,” Ramaswamy said.

He contended that DeSantis may not even know it, but the Florida governor’s donors are “going to make him” be Haley’s vice presidential pick.

“Whether or not Ron knows it, it’s not really his choice. He’s not really the one in charge of that decision,” he said. “And then the plot continues.”

“We have to open our eyes and not fall into their trap. Our America First agenda cannot end, our movement cannot end with Donald Trump when they take him out of contention,” the businessman urged.

“They are selling us the rope today that they are going to use to hang us tomorrow,” he concluded with another warning. “Do not fall into the trap people, and that’s why I’m here.

Understandably, Ramaswamy’s audacious forecast made waves on social media.

Interesting hypothesis Vivek but I don’t see DeSantis joining Haley.

Though if that does happen — then you have some genius level predicting abilities.

We shall see.

Vivek is right!!

This is such a stupid prediction. Ron has unequivocally said he will not join with trump or Haley. Ron understands that he is much more effective at governing Florida than taking a VP spot. You, however, are running for Trump.

Huge DeSantis fan but him agreeing to VP for Haley would be too beta for me to stick around

Predicting the future. Spot on.

Well, well well…. Vivek is just saying out loud what we knew

I don’t know, after the tongue lashing they gave each other last night and the Christie “hot mic” moment, Niki may be on her way out the door
