Is the future of the GOP more libertarian, nationalist, or, somehow, both?
Joining us today is Vivek Ramaswamy, entrepreneur, author, and former presidential candidate. He’s been making a hard pitch for what he’s called a “libertarian-nationalist alliance” for the past several months. He was at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention where he tried to convince libertarians to vote Republican. Reason‘s Zach Weissmueller also saw Ramaswamy at the Republican National Convention, where he was trying to convince MAGA supporters to be more libertarian. Reason‘s Stephanie Slade saw him make his case for “national libertarianism” at the National Conservatism Conference. That event was also attended by vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, who has a different vision for the conservative movement. Those dueling visions are the subject of today’s episode.
