NextImg:Ramaswamy reveals 'No to Neocons' pledge for prospective administration officials


Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced Tuesday that any prospective members of his hypothetical presidential administration must sign a pledge rejecting neoconservative foreign policy beliefs.

"STOP WORLD WAR III," he posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The link leads to a "No to Neocons" pledge, which it says prospective political appointees must sign and commit to if they want to be considered for roles in a Ramaswamy administration.


The pledge includes three statements. According to Ramaswamy, potential administration members must agree "Avoiding WW3 is a vital national objective," "War is never a preference, only a necessity," and "The sole duty of U.S. policymakers is to U.S. citizens."

As Ukraine fends off an invasion from Russia and Israel is warring with Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, Ramaswamy has been vocal in his opposition to additional emergency aid to the countries. He has suggested the U.S. needs to focus on issues domestically instead.

"We shouldn’t be giving elective foreign aid to any country whose national debt per citizen is less than ours. That shouldn’t be controversial," he posted on X.

In a separate post, Ramaswamy said, "As President, my sole obligation will be to the citizens of our nation." He added that saying as much isn't "anti-Israel" or "anti-Ukraine."

While Republicans increasingly share a similar sentiment to Ramaswamy when it comes to Ukraine, which has been at war since February 2022, helping Israel is still supported by the majority of adults who identify as Republican. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov survey, 55% of Republicans said the U.S. shouldn't send more aid and weapons to Ukraine, while 45% said it should.

When it comes to Israel, though, 65% of Republicans said the U.S. should be providing additional aid and weapons to the country, with just 35% disagreeing.
