Is the way forward for the GOP extra libertarian, nationalist, or, in some way, each?
Becoming a member of us right this moment is Vivek Ramaswamy, entrepreneur, creator, and former presidential candidate. He is been making a tough pitch for what he is known as a “libertarian-nationalist alliance” for the previous a number of months. He was on the 2024 Libertarian Nationwide Conference the place he tried to convince libertarians to vote Republican. Purpose‘s Zach Weissmueller additionally noticed Ramaswamy on the Republican Nationwide Conference, the place he was attempting to persuade MAGA supporters to be extra libertarian. Purpose‘s Stephanie Slade noticed him make his case for “nationwide libertarianism” at the Nationwide Conservatism Convention. That occasion was additionally attended by vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, who has a different vision for the conservative motion. These dueling visions are the topic of right this moment’s episode.
