Vivek Ramaswamy's unusual fundraising plan: Supporters get commissions for bringing in donations
Scott Olson/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- Republican presidential candidate and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy on Monday launched a commission-based fundraising program called "Vivek Kitchen Cabinet," which one campaign finance expert said appears to be the first of its kind. In a tweet, Ramaswamy wrote that "starting today, *anyone* can fundraise for the Vivek 2024 campaign & make a 10% commission." He said in a video announcing the initiative that it came out of a desire to "democratize the ability to make money," casting the traditional system of campaign fundraising as an "oligopoly" of the managerial class.
