The day before he faces off against other candidates during Wednesday’s debate in Tuscaloosa, Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur participating in the Republican presidential primary of 2024, is scheduled to visit Hoover on Tuesday for a meet and greet organized by the Alabama Republican Party.
The Renaissance Birmingham Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa will host Ramaswamy, 38, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Republican Party of Alabama declared on Thursday, Tuesday.
RSVPs for the meet and greet can be made here by those who wish to attend. Those who RSVP will be able to hear from Ramaswamy at a public reception.
ALGOP arranged sponsorships for the occasion, enabling the party to welcome guests to the meet and greet.
For the event, sponsorships are still available and can be bought here. Donors can get their photo taken with Republican presidential candidate Ramaswamy and participate in a private roundtable discussion with him.
Ramaswamy is the third presidential candidate that the Alabama Republican Party will host.
In August, in front of a fully packed house at the Renaissance Hotel in Montgomery, ALGOP’s Summer Dinner featured a keynote speech by former president Donald Trump.
At the party’s Winter Dinner in March, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made an appearance.
In 2014, Ramaswamy established Roivant Sciences, a biotech company. As of late August, his ownership stake in the business was valued at $600 million, as per Forbes.
His popularity in the primary race has increased as a result of his campaign’s emphasis on wokeness in American culture.
In addition, he is pushing for federal budget cuts, proposing, among other things, to fire half of the federal workforce on the first day of a hypothetical Ramaswamy administration:
Megyn Kelly will serve as the debate moderator on Wednesday at the University of Alabama’s Frank Moody Music Building.
Trump will not be present at the Tuscaloosa debate, just like he won’t be at any other GOP presidential debate in 2024.
