Vivek Ramaswamy is hoping Jake Paul can deliver a knockout punch for him on the campaign trail. The two are teaming up for a critical stretch in Ramaswamy’s bid for the GOP nomination. The presidential primary season starts next Monday in Iowa, and Jake and Vivek will be side-by-side on Sunday as they travel around the state urging Gen-Zers to come out and vote.
Key Takeaway
Jake Paul and Vivek Ramaswamy are joining forces to target Gen-Z voters in Iowa as part of Ramaswamy’s bid for the GOP nomination. The collaboration aims to leverage Jake’s star power to drive enthusiasm and encourage young people to participate in the upcoming caucus.
Jake Paul’s Star Power
Vivek’s spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, expressed excitement about Jake joining the campaign trail and hopes that it will drive out younger people. She mentioned that while Vivek is seeing a lot of enthusiasm from young voters, Jake’s star power and ability to command a crowd is expected to be a major asset on the eve of the Iowa caucus.
Commit to Caucus Rally
The duo will travel in Vivek’s private plane to events at four of the biggest universities in Iowa as part of the “Commit to Caucus Rally.” Vivek had discussed the possibility of Jake joining the campaign trail a few weeks ago when he attended Jake’s fight against Andre August in Florida. This collaboration comes after Jake invited Vivek to the boxing match and provided him with ringside seats.
Targeting Young Voters
Ramaswamy’s campaign is adamant about tapping into a group of voters that isn’t accounted for in recent polls, which show him well under 10 percent of likely Iowa GOP caucus voters. The campaign aims to leverage Jake’s ability to draw a crowd, whether through social media or boxing, to encourage people to cast a vote for Ramaswamy.
