Vivek Ramaswamy, a political novice who gained attention from his outspoken debate performances, plans to end his long-shot presidential bid after the Iowa caucuses, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The entrepreneur plans to announce his support for Donald Trump during an event in Iowa later Monday, according to the person, who described Ramaswamy’s plans on condition of anonymity. Trump won a decisive victory in Iowa, the nation’s first nominating contest.
