00:07 Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has been implementing a distinctive strategy
00:12 by hosting free speech and free drinks events to attract students
00:16 and encourage their participation in the upcoming caucus votes.
00:19 These events are particularly relevant as candidates from both Democratic and Republican parties
00:24 are selected through a series of primaries and caucuses held throughout the election year.
00:30 In the context of the 2024 Republican presidential candidacy,
00:33 the Iowa Republican caucus votes are scheduled for January 15, 2024.
00:38 Taking advantage of the vibrant college atmosphere, Ramaswamy engaged with students
00:43 at a fraternity house gathering at Iowa State University,
00:46 delving into discussions ranging from cryptocurrency to social issues.
00:50 The aim was not only to connect with students, but also to explore innovative ways of mobilizing
00:55 young voters and first-time caucus goers.
00:58 However, the free speech and free drinks approach, while attracting predominantly male crowds,
01:03 presents its own set of challenges.
01:06 These events, designed to offer an informal platform for political discourse,
01:10 sometimes lead to chaotic scenes, as witnessed during a pre-Halloween event at Iowa State University,
01:16 where chants disrupted the gathering.
01:19 The free-flowing alcohol often contributes to a lively atmosphere,
01:22 making it challenging for Ramaswamy's messages to be heard clearly.
01:26 Despite the events drawing mostly male attendees, Ramaswamy emphasizes that his campaign's appeal
01:31 is not inherently gender-specific.
01:34 The December NBC News Des Moines Register MediaCom poll indicated higher favorability among male,
01:41 likely Republican caucus goers, compared to their female counterparts.
01:45 Ramaswamy, an American entrepreneur and presidential hopeful who practices Hinduism,
01:49 positions himself as an American nationalist in his campaign.
