Trump's competitor promises to give part of Ukraine to Russia and block Kyiv's accession to NATO
Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party of the USA, who is in the top three in terms of popularity among Republican supporters, promises to recognize the Russian occupation of Ukraine and block its path to NATO if elected president.
Sorry for the headline. I don't know why they don't just say it's Vivek Ramaswamy.
To that end, I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.

The guy is brown and his name isn't something they can pronounce. There is not a snowballs chance in hell that this guy would even be a possible front runner for a spot to even say he is competing with Trump for the nomination.
Hillary Clinton has better odds of winning the Republican nomination.
Nikki Haley is Nimarata Randhawa and plenty of Republicans support her...
And there is a reason she goes by Nikki Haley.
I can't prove that you're wrong, but my impression is that (1) many immigrants go by American nicknames simply because they're tired of explaining how to pronounce their name and (2) Republicans appear to start out more distrustful of outsiders (although some of that may simply be due to a greater willingness to express politically incorrect opinions) but they can grow to trust and support individuals - they do "have black friends," so to speak.
IMO Vivek's ethnic background is a disadvantage but not a disqualifier. I guess we'll see how he does in the primaries. (I wouldn't bet on him, mostly because I would bet on Trump.)
