Nalin Haley, son of Nikki Haley, has accused GOP leader Vivek Ramaswamy of seeking his mother’s advice regarding his campaign for Ohio governor and running for president just to get an endorsement from President Donald Trump for his gubernatorial run.

The allegation came in response to Ramaswamy’s post rejecting claims over a failed Alzheimer’s drug trial linked to Axovant, a subsidiary of Roivant Sciences, the biotech firm founded by him.

Responding to the controversy, the former biotech entrepreneur warned his accusers of lawsuits and wrote, “(Friendly note to those trying to push defamatory lies: save your records & don’t delete them).Happy New Year in advance!”

In a combative post, Nalin said, “It’s not surprising that someone who made their fortune scamming other people would then run a fraudulent presidential campaign in an attempt to be a fraudulent governor who wants to replace Americans and American workers with foreigners.”

Nalin further alleged that Ramaswamy contacted his mother, Nikki Haley, in 2021 to support his book and later sought her advice on a gubernatorial run. “He reached out in 2021 to my mom to ask her to say nice things about his book (Which she kindly did). He was a total fangirl before the grift,” he wrote.



Describing him as an ‘anti-American scammer,’ Haley accused Ramaswamy of hurting national interests by replacing Americans with foreign workers, referencing Ramaswamy’s support for legal migration.

The recent post follows a trend of similar posts by Haley, who has frequently criticized Ramaswamy over his suggested policy reforms, describing them as harmful to the “America First” policy.
