Vivek Ramaswamy’s ‘Truth’ sign topples on him during New Hampshire campaign event

The truth hurts.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was briefly distracted at a campaign event in New Hampshire when he was hit by a falling sign bearing his 2024 slogan.

Ramaswamy, 38, was speaking at an exhibition in Lancaster on Sunday when a large “Truth” banner slowly fell over the White House hopeful.

People appeared to warn the entrepreneur and author of “Woke, Inc” about the casually falling sticker, and Ramaswamy braced himself before it landed on his back.

Ramaswamy made light of the incident and continued his speech after the sign was put back up, according to WMUR.

The GOP candidate spent Labor Day weekend storming New Hampshire, stopping across the early nominating state with the benefit of being the only presidential challenger to see a post-debate surge in the polls.

Among the contestants in the first Republican presidential primary debate, Ramaswamy was the only candidate to show a significant increase since June, according to a CNN poll released Tuesday.

His support has risen from just 1% to 6%, according to the poll, with 30% of GOP voters pegging him as the best-performing candidate on stage in Milwaukee in the first debate, edging out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by 2 percentage points.

The CNN poll, conducted between Aug. 25 and Aug. 31, also found the share of likely GOP voters willing to consider Ramaswamy has increased by 10 points since May.

Ramaswamy still faces an uphill climb to the Republican presidential nomination despite his improved standing among GOP voters.

Former President Donald Trump remains a dominant presence at the top of the polls, with 52% backing him in CNN’s latest poll.

DeSantis finished second in the poll with 18% support, followed by former Vice President Mike Pence and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley with 7% support each, and Ramaswamy at 6%.

Sen. Tim Scott (RS.C.) received 3% support, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was backed by 2%, and the rest of the GOP field was at 1% or less, according to a CNN poll.
