The controversy surrounding Vivek Ramaswamy arises from allegations that a former staffer from his 2024 presidential campaign, Zach Henry, has been implicated in a strategy to use pro-Trump influencers to promote Robert F.
Kennedy Jr., a rival candidate in the presidential race.
This connection has led to accusations against Ramaswamy, labeling him a traitor to Donald Trump, as his former associate's actions seem to undermine Trump by boosting RFK Jr., a direct competitor.
This situation has fueled discontent among Trump supporters, who view any support for RFK Jr. as a betrayal of Trump, thereby reflecting negatively on Ramaswamy due to his association with Henry.
