Political outsider and 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy today announced on X that he will become the first U.S. presidential candidate in history to make multiple visits to all of Iowa’s 99 counties ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
“Some candidates boast about doing the ‘Full Grassley’ – visiting all 99 counties in Iowa. Proud to announce I’ll be the first presidential candidate in history to do all 99 counties twice over in less than a year,” said Ramaswamy. “We’ll lead America with the same effort that we’re running this campaign.”
Ramaswamy added that he is on track to complete the “Full Grassley” twice over by the first week of January 2024.
