Vivek Ramaswamy was recently seen with his son at the Army-Navy football game over the weekend. Republican politician-entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has explained why leaders in the next Donald Trump administration are normalizing bringing their children and grandchildren to workplaces. “Family is the foundation,” he said, responding to an X user who shared photographs of the US President-elect, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Ramaswamy with their young family members during official engagements.
On Saturday, the former Republican presidential candidate attended the Army-Navy football game with his son. He shared several photographs and videos on X, capturing his son Karthik’s playful interactions with Trump and even doing push-ups with Pete Hegseth.
“Just landed in Maryland with K-man, headed to Army-Navy game,” Ramaswamy wrote on X, along with a photograph of himself carrying his son. Later, he shared a video and expressed his honor at visiting the Travis Manion Foundation tailgate ahead of the game. In another post, he and his son posed with Donald Trump. “Leading Future Generations. LFG,” he wrote.
Ramaswamy also posted a video of his son doing push-ups with Pete Hegseth, the next US Secretary of Defense. “Our next Secretary of Defence knows how to start recruiting them young. Karthik made a new friend today, @PeteHegseth,” he shared.
In a separate post, Ramaswamy highlighted “how good” Donald Trump was with children. Sharing a photo of Trump speaking to his son, he wrote, “One of the things I love about our 47th President is how good he is with kids… actually.”
At the event, they were also joined by US Vice President-elect JD Vance. “My 4-year-old took advantage of JD’s & my conversation to quietly snag his 3rd cookie. He was very proud of himself,” Ramaswamy captioned a photograph featuring his son and Vance.
Ramaswamy and his wife Apoorva share two sons, Karthik and Arjun.
This outing with Karthik follows several other instances where leaders such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance have been seen bringing their children to work events.
As part of the Trump 2.0 administration, Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
