Ramaswamy criticizes Harris-Walz lack of policy, and says Trump better at unifying U.S.
Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says the Biden-Harris administration has not united the country in their time in office, and former President Donald Trump will do a better job in the White House.
He has criticised the Vice President, and Democrat's choice for President, Kamala Harris for her policy record; saying she has favoured taking away private health insurance, and most people do like fracking, drilling and the effect on energy prices, and she's against that too.
Speaking on Thursday, before Harris's speech, he said along with her running mate Governor Tim Walz they lack clarity on what their actual policies are.
