Vivek Ramaswamy, announced on Monday he will no longer be running for the presidency of the USA, USA, USA! By dropping out, the 38-year-old Harvard graduate and biotech entrepreneur may return to his earlier libertarian avatar, minimising the 'radical conservative' window he has been screen-sharing all this while to become prime tenant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The reason for RamSam flashing the time-out sign is his poor showing in the Iowa caucus Republican presidential nomination contest where he came a poor fourth trailing 'The Don' Trump, 'The Ron' DeSantis, and 'Rikki-Tikki' Nikki Haley. Campaigning as the apostle of anti-wokeism was always going to be tough when you have anti-woke prophets like Don and Ron at the pulpit.

Hutchinson was the last GOP candidate remaining in the race who was willing to directly take on Trump. «I congratulate Donald J Trump for his win last night in Iowa and to the other candidates who competed and garnered delegate support,» Hutchinson said in a statement. «Today, I am suspending my campaign for President and driving back to Arkansas. My message of being a principled Republican with experience and telling the truth about the current front runner did not sell in Iowa.»
