Vivek Ramaswamy Deletes Batting-Cage Campaign Video Amid Mockery

The Republican candidate's baseball swing drew online ridicule as Ohio's governor race remains closely contested.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign swiftly removed a batting-cage campaign video from Instagram after it became fodder for widespread online ridicule, even though the clip continued to be accessible through the Republican candidate’s TikTok profile as of September 10. The brief stunt, which quickly became an unwelcome distraction in one of the country’s closest gubernatorial races, has drawn mockery from journalists, strategists, and political figures alike.

Ramaswamy’s 10-point pitch, delivered amid simulated baseball swings in the batting cage, proved to be a source of ridicule rather than a compelling political message.
