The top Republican presidential candidates are coming to Alabama on December 6 for the third Republican Presidential Debate. At least one of the presidential candidates will be arriving early to Alabama. Vivek Ramaswamy will be in Hoover on December 5 for a fundraising reception with the Jefferson County Republican Party.
The event will be on Tuesday, December 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the Ross Bridge Hotel in Hoover at 4000 Grand Avenue. Individual tickets start at $100 each. In addition to Ramaswamy, Jefferson County Republican Party candidates are expected to be in attendance.
The event will be held the evening before the fourth Republican Presidential Debate.
Ramaswamy is participating in the Republican presidential debate in Tuscaloosa along with former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Republican frontrunner former President Donald Trump has not participated in any of the debates and is not expected to participate in the Alabama presidential debate either.
If elected, Ramaswamy, who is of Indian descent, would be the first Hindu President of the United States. Ramaswamy is a successful businessman who is running as an outsider. He is married and has two children. He was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up he was a nationally ranked tennis player and the valedictorian of his high school, St. Xavier. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard and has a law degree from Yale Law School. He has worked at a hedge fund. He started a biotech company, Roivant Sciences, where he oversaw the development of five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved. He is an author and has written extensively attacking the woke movement. His foreign policy views, especially his criticism of the U.S. support for Ukraine in their war against Russia, have been controversial.
The Alabama Presidential primary is on March 5 – Super Tuesday.
The Republican nominee will face incumbent President Joe Biden in the general election on November 5.
