2024 GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy has unveiled his latest policy platform: raising the United States voting age to 25.
According to Politico, the fact that such a move would require amending the Constitution–and that his own staff hates it–hasn’t dampened the 37-year-old entrepreneur’s ambitions to strip voting rights from millions of young Americans.
Under Ramaswamy’s plan, Americans under 25 could only vote by joining the military, becoming a first responder, or passing a civics test. It’s not his first outlandish campaign promise; so far, he’s also promised to dismantle the Department of Education and use military force against cartels in Mexico, on top of other extreme talking points.
