Anti-Woke Inc. CEO and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is offering 10 percent of his campaign funds to his supporters.
Ramaswamy seems all set for the upcoming August 23rd debate in Milwaukee claiming he’s received the 40,000 individual donors needed to qualify. But the next debate might have tougher requirements, so he’s revving up his fundraising.
You can be a ‘bundler’ for Ramaswamy, meaning you’d be responsible for collecting a number of donations. It’s a common tactic that candidates have employed for decades. For Ramaswamy’s campaign, bundlers will receive a 10 percent cut. He’ll also consider these bundlers to be part of “Vivek’s Kitchen Cabinet,” and invite them to exclusive campaign events.
Bundling may be a novel idea but it gives people invested in candidates an opportunity to actually get to know them as a person, which might be an intriguing idea for someone wanting to take a piece of electoral history home with them.

Ramaswamy’s consultant, Ben Yoko, sounded almost communistic when speaking with Politico. But the idea also sounded entrepreneurial, as this could fall into the gig economy category. “He realized the type of money fundraisers make. He wants his supporters to have the same opportunity,” said Yoko. Ramaswamy continued with that theme claiming: “I found out that most professional political fundraisers get a cut of the money they raise. Why should they monopolize political fundraising? They shouldn’t.”
And Ramaswamy is putting his money where his mouth his. He’s already loaned $10 million of his own cash to the campaign and is expected to spend upwards of $100 million out of his own wallet.
Echelon Insights released a poll showing Ramaswamy in third place with 10 percent support.That’s only six points behind Ron DeSantis, as he creeps ever closer to becoming an alternative to former President Donald J. Trump.
