Rift between Pence and Ramaswamy – bitter enemies
A clear "hostility" has emerged between the Republican presidential candidates Mike Pence and Vivek Ramaswamy. The crack and ice was impossible to miss when they were both in New Hampshire this weekend, writes Politico.
The conflict has been going on for over a month. In the Republicans' first presidential debate, the usually calm Pence went on the attack, notes Republican adviser Matthew Bartlett.
- It looked personal. He was deeply offended on stage.
The differences are large both ideologically and in terms of age between 63-year-old Pence and 38-year-old Ramaswamy - and they appeal to completely different voter groups.
Fivethirtyeight states that support for Ramaswamy has increased significantly recently.
Although he has a long way to go to seriously challenge for victory, he is a future name in the Republicans, writes the statistics site. He is also a possible candidate for the vice presidency should Trump win.
