"Vivek Ramaswamy Gains Steve King's Endorsement Amidst Intensive Iowa Campaign"

Former Iowa Representative Steve King, known for his controversial and racist remarks, has endorsed biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy for president. King praised Ramaswamy for his opposition to CO2 pipelines in Iowa, his stance against the "climate change cult," his commitment to pardon peaceful January 6 protesters, and his desire to end birthright citizenship. Ramaswamy, who has visited all of Iowa's 99 counties twice in a year, has expressed mutual respect for King, citing shared views on several issues. Despite King's divisive reputation and loss of his re-election bid in 2020, his endorsement may influence the conservative base in Iowa's upcoming caucus.
