Vivek Ramaswamy Quits Social Media

Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican candidate for Ohio governor, announced he is quitting social media platforms X and Instagram.

He made this decision after being inspired by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's approach to avoiding media influence.

Ramaswamy plans to focus more on direct engagement with voters and spending time with his family.

His campaign team will continue to manage his social media accounts.

He mentioned witnessing shocking racial slurs on social media in 2025 but noted that he did not encounter any bigoted remarks during his in-person campaigning.

Ramaswamy also referenced studies that showed unusual engagement patterns and the influence of bots on social media.
