When some participants at the top of the state leadership in New Jersey noticed that the main speaker enters the Cezarski Atlantic City Ballroom, he was full of mobile phones around him, trying to capture even a look at him in the background of his shots in selfie.
A respected guest was Vivek Ramaswama, a republican author, a biotechnology entrepreneur, currently a candidate for the governor of Ohio, and in the age of 39, one of the richest generations of generations in the world.
According to Kenny Gonzalez, executive director of New Jersey GOP, at the age of 600 people the crowd was about twice as gigantic as last year. One of the participants said that he did not even remember who was the main speaker at the annual event last year.
In a passionate speech on Friday evening, Ramaswama spoke about the need to “save as a nation” and said that New Jersey could improve the course on the “wrong path”, choosing democrats. He praised the program of President Donald Trump and called his last order to dismantle the Education Department “Beautiful thing to watch.”
The crowd was also inflated with this year’s Government Breed with the democratic government Phil Murphy confined and competitive in both sides. A former representative of New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli, who again runs in Gop Primary for the governor, lost to Murphy by about three points in 2021, and in November Trump took the vice president of Kamali Harris with single numbers – both hopeful shows for republicans in what was perceived as a blue state. Bob Hugin, chairman of New Jersey GOP, presenting Ramaswamy, called New Jersey State.
“For the first time in a long time, since I remember, in New Jersey there is a sense of emotion for republicans, which is tangible,” said Dipal Patel entrepreneur, introducing Ramaswama with Hugin. “And there is no better time to have a fertile national form with us, such as Vivek, so that we would all be such an important year for us all for us.”
Before the participants’ rooms wear leashes, declaring “Flip Nj Red 2025!”, Hugin said that we “knows how to tell the truth with power.”
“We need people who will defend our American values ​​and nobody does it better than him,” said Hugin.
In his main speech, Ramaswama emphasized that “the people we choose to run the government should be those who actually run the government”, and not the so -called deep state. He praised the Trump Administration Initiative as an example of putting power into the hands of people chosen by voters, despite the fact that the effort is led by Elon Musk, The Musk, The richest person in the world, which was not elected to any office. Some participants drew attention to criticism of musk after a speech, while others enthusiastically praised musk and found that the presidents were appointing people.
Trump announced in November that Ramaswama would lead a dog with Musk, before officials said only a few hours of the modern administration that Musk would manage the effort to reduce costs.
“We think that the people we decide to run the government should be those who actually create rights, not the necessary bureaucrats in DC Deep State,” said Ramaswama. “That is why I am proud that I helped Doge from Earth for the first two and a half months to restore the local government in America.”
Ramaswama grew up in Ohio with his parents who emigrated from India and he has a scientific degree with Yale and Harvard. He defended the “nuclear family” and said that “it makes sense to have the greatest deportation in the history of America, while covering those who legally came to bring value to our country.”
Hugin said that Ramaswama lived and embodies American sleep through challenging work, proveing ​​to school and business, and “difficult orthodoxy”.
“He deserves all the successes he has because he worked so hard to achieve them,” said Hugin.
Ramaswama also accepted the message of the meritocracy in his speech, saying that policemen, teachers, school administrators and other officials should receive remuneration based on their merits. He said “this is the moment 1776 in the United States” and called the participants: “Don’t apologize for capitalism, but participate in it.”
“Imagine that in the spring of 1776 we could see ourselves as victims,” ​​he said. “We were oppressed by the British monarchy. … Our founding fathers had all reasons to see themselves as victims, but they did not choose the victim. They chose victory. We are not victims, we are winners.”
Ramaswama visited Norristown and Kensington during a campaign for the Republican Presidential Primary School in 2024, after which he abandoned the race in January 2024 to support Trump after taking fourth place in the Kluszka Leadoff Iowa. During the Milwaukee debate, the Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie was the governor, who focused his campaign on attacking Trump, called Ramaswama “a guy who sounds like chatgpt.” Trump praised Ramaswamy as “Helluv’s work” during his campaign on the day he abandoned.
At the end of his Friday evening, Ramaswama encouraged the audience to “fight, fight” for the country, repetition of the rally Cry Trump invented after surviving the attempt to kill last summer in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“Our best days as a nation are still ahead of us,” said Ramaswania. “Do not stop fighting for this country. It is worth saving our country. It is worth saving New Jersey. We have your back.”
Ramaswama did not ask questions from the media.
