Vivek Ramaswamy did not win, and ultimately did not come close to winning, the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Donald Trump clinched the GOP nomination by surpassing the required delegate threshold on March 12, 2024, after winning multiple primaries that day, and became the party’s presumptive nominee.(forbes.com) Ramaswamy suspended his campaign after poor early‑state results and ended the primaries with only a small fraction of delegates.(en.wikipedia.org) At the Republican National Convention in July 2024, Trump was formally nominated as the Republican presidential candidate.(en.wikipedia.org) Since the prediction was that Ramaswamy had a strong chance and "can win this thing" (the GOP nomination), and the nomination instead went decisively to Trump, the prediction is wrong.
