Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was added Tuesday to the list of planned speakers at the upcoming California Republican Party Convention in Anaheim.
Ramaswamy is scheduled to speak at the convention on its second day, Saturday, Sept. 30.
“We are excited to welcome American business leader Vivek Ramaswamy to the convention stage as our Saturday lunch keynote speaker,” state GOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said in a statement. “Not only has he helped reshape the pharmaceutical industry with his ambitious efforts to drug development, but he is also the New York Times bestselling author of Woke, Inc. Vivek’s robust energy to our party is inspiring a new generation of conservatives, and I look forward to hearing him share his message to California Republicans on how he would shape our nation as the next president.”
Three other Republican presidential hopefuls are also scheduled to speak at the convention. Former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott are all expected to speak on the convention’s opening day Sept. 29.
The three-day event will be held at the Anaheim Marriott hotel.
