Nalin Haley, son of former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, publicly accused Vivek Ramaswamy of political opportunism. Haley claimed Ramaswamy sought his mother's endorsement and advice in 2021 for his Ohio gubernatorial bid and book promotion, suggesting Ramaswamy's "America First" stance was insincere and a "grift" for political gain. Ramaswamy, who is running for Ohio governor, has not yet responded to these specific allegations.
