It’s the closest thing the primary has to the rivalry between Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg in 2020.
SALEM, N.H. — There was no handshake — not even a stilted regard for each other — when Mike Pence and Vivek Ramaswamy crossed paths in New Hampshire over the weekend.First Ramaswamy told reporters at the Hopkinton State Fair on Saturday that he’s “open to working with anybody, Republican or not” — and then promptly deflected when asked specifically whether that would include Pence.
“I understand he was probably in grade school on 9/11 and I was on Capitol Hill,” Pence said . He added: “I think comments like that, conspiracy theories like that, dishonor the service and sacrifice of our armed forces who fought against our enemies determined to kill us.” Ramaswamy has responded in part by casting the GOP primary as a clear divide between the “neoconservative foreign policy establishment” of Pence and Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations with which he’s also traded barbs in recent days, and “a new, unapologetically nationalistic view of how we advance American interests.”
The biotech entrepreneur is perhaps the former president’s staunchest defender in the GOP presidential field — going so far as to pledge to pardon Trump if he’s convicted of any of the myriad criminal charges he faces. Ramaswamy’s supporters and other New Hampshire voters open to his candidacy frequently say they’re interested in him in part because of his shared traits with Trump. Some even hope he’ll be Trump’s next running mate should he win the nomination for a third time.
