GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy doubled down on his claim that he would vote for former President Donald Trump if he’s convicted and if the former commander-in-chief is also the Republican presidential nominee.

During an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week,” Mr. Ramaswamy was asked about whether he thinks its “okay for a convicted felon to be president,” referring to President Trump’s four cases. He responded by saying that the prosecutions against the former president are instead “downright politicized persecutions.”
