Background Vivek Ramaswamy is a former biotech executive and author who ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. He suspended his campaign on January 15, 2024, after finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses and subsequently endorsed Donald Trump. While he has been appointed to lead Trump's proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), this would be an appointed rather than elected position.

Resolution Criteria This market will resolve YES if Vivek Ramaswamy wins any election for a government position at any level (local, state, or federal) at any point in the future. This includes but is not limited to:

• City council member

• Mayor

• State legislator

• Governor

• U.S. Representative

• U.S. Senator

• President

The market will resolve NO if Ramaswamy passes away without ever having held an elected government position. Appointed positions (such as cabinet roles or advisory positions) do not count toward a YES resolution.

Considerations

• This is an open-ended market with no time limit, meaning it could potentially take years or decades to resolve

• While Ramaswamy has demonstrated political ambitions through his 2024 presidential campaign, he has no prior experience in elected office

• His business background and name recognition from the 2024 campaign could make him a viable candidate for future elections, particularly in his home state of Ohio
