Ramaswamy is an outspoken critic of “woke-ism”, which he considers victimhood[6] belief-system that negatively impacts the key American values of faith, patriotism, and work-ethics.[7] Ramaswamy has also criticized the corporate environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives, alleging that these ESG activities mix business with politics and disadvantage the shareholders.[8] The New York Times has described Ramaswamy as an anti-woke candidate,[9] and The Hill characterizes him as a conservative.[10]

His campaign admitted in May 2023 that he had paid an editor to edit his English Wikipedia page before announcing his candidacy, but denied that it was politically motivated.[11]
