Republicans say they stand for God, family, and country. They bring self-governance and the spirit of 1776 into modern politics. But Vivek Ramaswamy has a secret he says the media won't share.
"It's not just Republicans," Ramaswamy said on his new Fox Nation series. "Most Americans actually believe in those ideals."
"I traveled the country last year as a presidential candidate. What I found is that we're not as divided as the media claims. About 80% of us share the same core values. But people are scared to talk about it openly."
The series, "Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy," aired on Fox News and Fox Nation on Sunday night. Ramaswamy asked if Republican complacency was to blame for the small gains in 2022.
He predicted that 2024 might have a similar outcome if things don’t change. "We criticized the Democrats but didn't offer our own vision," he said.
"I'm worried we'll be in for another surprise this November unless we fix this now," he added.
"We're not up against just a candidate. It's a machine. We can't win by focusing only on their tricks. We win by defining who we are and what we stand for."
Ramaswamy also appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" to discuss the series and his new book, "Truths." He spoke with co-host Pete Hegseth about the power of free speech.
"We find our way to truth through open debate, even with those who disagree," he explained. "The book helps arm people with arguments to talk to their left-leaning friends and family members."
