Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday plans to call on the GOP to embrace a less overtly belligerent and oppositional posture, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Ramaswamy's approach is a sharp break from some prominent conservatives who, in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, have called for a clampdown on what they describe as a violent left.
Zoom out: Ramaswamy will be the featured speaker at a Montana State University event being held by Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk co-founded.
According to his prepared remarks, Ramaswamy will say the conservative moment is at a "fork in the road" and urge them to abandon its fixation on "owning the libs" in favor of a less overtly confrontational posture.
"We can still stand for truth, while viewing those who believe in falsehoods not as our enemies who must be vanquished, but instead as our fellow citizens who have lost their way and must be shown the light," Ramaswamy will say.
"Not to berate them, embarrass them, and banish them -- but to pray for them, to talk to them, and to persuade them," he will add.
Zoom in: Ramaswamy became a prominent Trump supporter after waging an unsuccessful 2024 GOP primary campaign.
Still not voting for him, but it's intriguing. How will Turning Coat USA receive this speech?
