(Fox News) Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shared a list of what he called 10 truths to social media Thursday, with references to faith, gender, and capitalism.
Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur who is seeking the Republican nomination, shared the ideals on X, starting with, “God is real” and “There are only two genders” — the latter being a contentious claim by those on the Left.
The list also promotes the importance of fossil fuels, condemns “reverse racism,” defends the role of parents in choosing their own children’s education, and boasts the U.S. Constitution as the “strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.”
While many voters may have started the 2024 presidential campaign unfamiliar with Ramaswamy, some polls have the rising Silicon Valley star in the top three among GOP candidates, behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Ramaswamy’s been showcasing his list in recent weeks at campaign stops in the early voting states. He posted the list ahead of an event in California and as he continues a barnstorming blitz in several states before next week’s first Republican primary debate in Wisconsin, which will be hosted by Fox News.
During the event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum located in Yorba Linda, Ramaswamy shared details of his upbringing and his concern that the American Dream may not exist for further generations.
