Ramaswamy was already millionaire when he accepted Soros award he said he needed to pay for law school

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was already a millionaire by the time he accepted the Soros scholarship he previously said he needed in order to pay for law school.

Ramaswamy defended himself last month for accepting a $90,000 award from the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, which was founded by Daisy and Paul Soros, the late older brother of liberal billionaire financier George Soros.

Ramaswamy said that after graduating from Harvard, he "didn’t have the money" to afford Yale Law School.

His story doesn't match up to what he represents.

But he doesn't have to make sense as he has little chance of winning the nomination.

Trump doesn't have to attend any of the Republican debates, and Ramaswamy can be the guy that commands the room while Trump is out, while all the others, who have also no shot of the nomination, waste energy debating a polar opposite but has no chance winning the nomination.

I kind of view him actually like Elizabeth Warren. No chance of winning but capable of representing the Left views on behalf of another candidate, Biden, who doesn't have to debate. The difference from four years ago was the Democratic debate was just different extremes of Left but no polar opposites in the room, save for Tulsi Gabbard, sort of.

Did he disclose his situation and his income in the application? That's the issue.

$90,000 is a big scholarship for a very elite school. They're not likely giving those out to people who are low income. Did he fit the guidelines?

If he was wealthy, why would he take 90k that is not much money for a millionaire. Sounds like to me he supported Soros's ideas back then.

He sounds like a plant,meant to take votes from the REAL Republican candidate.

I do not think the guy believes what he says. Someone hired him to make Republicans look like a joke. See his performance Wednesday night.

In his defense, he has a great explanation about accepting the scholarship.

It's obvious he is working towards the VP nomination.

While that may be true, he is polling strongly among the 18-35 voter block.
