The Toast of Wonderhaven: Jimmy Fallon Unearths the Magical Campaign Journey of Vivek Ramaswamy

Jimmy Fallon Throws Shade at Vivek Ramaswamy's Campaign: 'Toast' or a Hiccup on the Presidential Journey?

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon recently took a humorous dig at biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign, suggesting it might be losing its sparkle. Ramaswamy faced a setback when he failed to qualify for the GOP debate on CNN, a fact Fallon didn't let slide.

During a campaign event in Pella, Iowa, Ramaswamy made a virtual appearance via iPad, citing weather conditions as the reason for his absence. Fallon didn't hold back, describing the setting as more reminiscent of a support group meeting than a vibrant campaign event. "You know your campaign’s toast when you can’t even get yourself to show up," Fallon quipped.

Despite the setback, Ramaswamy's campaign maintains he is still in the running, although he fell short of meeting the polling criteria for the recent debate — the final one before the upcoming Iowa caucuses.
