‘Prophecy Fulfilled’: Ramaswamy Shares Video Where He Predicted ‘Electoral Landslide’ – News18

Vivek Ramaswamy is heard saying in the video that Republicans would need a 1980-84 like electoral landslide in the Nov 5 elections.

Vivek Ramaswamy, whose predictions have earlier made headlines for being accurate, went viral on social media again for another prediction he made last year.

Ramaswamy shared a video from Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2023 where he is heard saying: “Mark my words. I predict a 1980-style, 1984-style landslide election in this country”.

Ramaswamy reshared the video on Wednesday with the caption: “My favorite prediction: a 1980-style electoral *landslide*. It seemed unthinkable back in March 2023. Now it’s reality”.

The Indian-American Republican, who ran for president only to drop out later and endorse US President-elect Donald Trump, was referring to Trump’s win over Kamala Harris, Democratic nominee and US vice-president.

Trump won decisively by amassing 292 electoral college votes.

Ramaswamy in the 2023 video was referring to Ronald Reagan, the Republican candidate, who defeated incumbent President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. Reagan won decisively with 489 electoral votes to Carter’s 49 in the year 1980.

He was also referring to the 1984 re-election of Reagan where he won by a landslide victory against Democratic challenger Walter Mondale. Reagan received 525 electoral votes, while Mondale received only 13.

“Another Vivek prophecy fulfilled!,” wrote conservative commentator and author Ashley St. Clair.

Donald Trump had hinted at a potential role for Vivek Ramaswamy in his administration, praising his intelligence and capabilities during a campaign in October.

Ramaswamy also made headlines when he predicted earlier this year that President Joe Biden would not be the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.
