Ramaswamy catches boy after struggling to lift him at Ohio rally
Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy nearly dropped a 10-year-old boy after inviting him on stage at a rally in Vandalia. The awkward moment drew online mockery, while Ramaswamy was campaigning ahead of Donald Trump’s appearance and the November midterm elections.
The boy, Hunter, had a sign saying he was a military child; Ramaswamy struggled to lift him, caught him as he lurched backwards and then called him a “big guy”. He let Hunter’s sister chant into the microphone without trying to lift her. Ramaswamy is competing against Democrat Amy Acton in a close governor’s race, despite a fundraising lead and more than $12 million spent on campaign advertising.
