Republican 2024 presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy painted the picture of his first few days in office and left out the Biden family.
Ramaswamy previously committed to pardoning former President Donald Trump and the peaceful protesters with charges involving Jan. 6. However, he insisted he won't spend his days in office pursuing legal charges against President Joe Biden or his son Hunter. The entrepreneur-turned-candidate defended his position while addressing an article that claimed he would pardon Hunter Biden, as the reporter "misquoting" him.

"But what I said, let me fast-forward to January 21, 2025: My second day in office," Ramaswamy said on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Baritomo. "After we issued those pardons and set into motion shutting down the FBI, not just reforming, actually restoring the integrity of our government. The question is, is the next thing that I then want to do after we sent our nation forward, is it to then focus my agenda on persecuting or prosecuting Joe Biden or his family? My answer to that is no."
Instead, Ramaswamy said he would rather be focused on ending the war in Ukraine if elected president. He lamented the enormous amount of financial aid that has been sent to Ukraine since Biden took office. The United States sent roughly $113 billion to the country last year alone.
"No, I’m not going to be guided by vengeance and grievance; I'm going to be guided by integrity. But the first step to getting there can be no reconciliation without truth," Ramaswamy said. "We have to get to the bottom of — including that bribe — I believe paid to the Biden family, how that is tied to our war in Ukraine and the support in Ukraine, get to the bottom of that first."

Ramaswamy has qualified for the first GOP debate slated for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He has also signed the loyalty pledge, committing not to run as a third-party candidate should he not win the Republican nomination.
Ramaswamy is facing off against twelve other Republican candidates for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination as the youngest candidate. During a Spaces conversation on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ramaswamy revealed that 40% of his contributors made their first donation to the Republican Party in supporting him.
