Washington: Indian-American entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy has urged two of the three remaining Republican hopefuls to drop out and "do this country and this party a service" by endorsing former President Donald Trump in his bid to reclaim the White House. Following his poor showing in Monday's Iowa caucuses, the 38-year-old multimillionaire had not just backed out but also backed its winner Trump. Trump, who is the current frontrunner, won 51 per cent of the votes cast in Monday's Iowa caucuses. While Florida governor Ron DeSantis came a distant second with 21 per cent, former South Carolina governor Nikky Haley received 19 per cent of the votes. Ramaswamy specifically shouted out DeSantis as he said: “Especially Ron DeSantis, of the two of them, will have an important role to play in the future of this country and leading this nation.
