Another Republican is eyeing the 2024 presidential nomination as entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy plans to try and use his 'anti-wokeism' to pull off what Donald Trump did in 2016.

The 37-year-old millionaire has been dubbed the 'CEO of Anti-Woke Inc.' and has signaled interest like most who want the presidency – by visiting the first primary caucus state of Iowa.

Ramaswamy went to Des Moines, Iowa for a dinner last month to speak to a crowd of dozens of the midwestern state's agricultural big wigs and spread his message about the threat of 'woke capitalism.'

The rising right-wing star, who made his money in biotech and is the son of Indian immigrants, has pounced on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, which is something that has become popular among Republicans, business leaders and farmers.

The interest from the best-selling author comes as several big and small names on the right are signaling interest in the 2024 Republican nominating contest.

Former President Donald Trump is the only one so far to make an official bid for president this cycle, announcing his intent for a third White House campaign in mid-November.

Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and Trump-era Ambassador to the United Nations, will become the second with her official announcement in her home state's capital city on Wednesday.

Others have expressed their intent to file for the presidency – including conservative radio host Larry Elder.

And there is a flurry of speculation, rumors and refusals to rule out a bid from big names on the right, which has been further fueled by some trips to early primary contest states. This includes the likes of South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, among others.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to be among the top two favorites for the GOP nomination in several polls that show him closely rivaling Trump.

Ramaswamy hopes to bring some of the same energy to the 2024 race that Trump brought in 2016 and pull off the same thing – come into the race as an entrepreneur and political outsiders and launch himself to the White House with unorthodox ideas and low expectations that earn him a large following.

Trump is the only candidate who has announced his 2024 bid in the Republican primary so far – but his former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is officially announcing her bid in remarks Wednesday in Columbia, South Carolina

It doesn't appear that the potential candidate is worried about coming in as a long shot. He weighed making a bid for Senate in his home state of Ohio in 2021, but eventually chose not to launch a campaign.

The author of books Woke Inc. and Nation of Victims is testing socially responsible investing, specifically in ESG, as one of the cornerstones of a potential bid.

Former Iowa governor and kingmaker in the state Terry Branstad told Politico that most people in his state 'don't know' what ESG is all about.

With so much early interest, the Republican 2024 primary field is on its way to be one of the most crowded contests ever.
