Ramaswamy, 38, a former presidential aspirant who dropped off from the race in the early stages of the Republican primary, said Trump is the president who will unite America not through empty words but through action

"If you want to seal the border, vote Trump. If you want to restore law and order, vote Trump. If you want to reignite our economy, vote for Trump. If you want to revive national pride, vote for Trump. If you want to make America great again, vote for Trump," he said

Ramaswamy's fiery speech attracted multiple standing ovations and the biggest applause from the thousands of delegates and party leaders who have gathered in this city to nominate Trump as their nominee for the November 5 presidential election

"Success is unifying, excellence is unifying, that's who we are as Americans, that's who we have always been," he said

"We are the country where we can disagree like hell and still get together at the dinner table at the end of it. That is the America I know. That is the America we miss," he said as his speech electrified the crowd

"If you disagree with everything I say then our message to you is this - we will still defend your right to say it because that is who we are as Americans. We are a country where we can disagree like hell and still get together at the dinner table at the end of it. That is what it means to be an American," said the Indian-American biotech entrepreneur

Tesla CEO Elon Musk praised Ramswamy's speech on X

In his electrifying speech that lasted about seven minutes, Ramaswamy said here is a message the media doesn't want them to hear from the Republican Party
