Vivek Ramaswamy Counters Polls Indicating Rising Unpopularity: 'People Are Annoyed By My Rise'

Republican presidential contender, Vivek Ramaswamy, rebuts polls indicating increasing unfavorability among voters, attributing it to annoyance over his swift rise, The Hill reported.

Ramaswamy, a tech billionaire, dismissed the unfavorable polling in a conversation with Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.”

The 38-year-old tycoon stated, "The reality is many people are annoyed by my rise and believe that a 38-year-old is too young to be U.S. president."

Bream cited a New York Times opinion piece labeling Ramaswamy as "annoying," to which he responded with humor, acknowledging the intense criticism his campaign has faced.

Despite trailing behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in recent GOP primary polls, Ramaswamy remains optimistic about his chances. 

"We came from 0.0 percent to where we are now. I think we're on track to win this election," he said.
