BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy addresses New Hampshire with passionate speech: Do the right thing and elect Donald Trump

"We are in the middle of a war in this country," Ramaswamy said. "That's what this is. It's not a war between black and white. It's not between Democrat and Republican, even in a deeper sense, it's between the permanent state and the everyday citizen, between those of us who love the United States of America and a fringe minority who hates this country and what we stand for.

"And right now we need a commander in chief who will lead us to victory in this war."

You gotta know you're in a war to win one," Ramaswamy continued.

"There is not a better choice left in this race than this man right here. And that is why I am asking you to do the right thing as New Hampshire and to vote for Donald J. Trump as your next president."

"We've been celebrating our diversity and our differences for so long that we forgot all of the ways that we are the same as Americans bound by that common set of ideals that set this country into motion. We believe those ideals still exist. This man is gonna be your next president to revive them" Ramaswamy continued.

President Trump appeared impressed and touched by the endorsement, saying "It's an honor to have his endorsement. He's gonna be working with us and he'll be working with us for a long time. Thank you."

Trump moves on to New Hampshire after unprecedented domination in the Iowa caucuses, taking 51% of the votes.

Upon departing the race, Ramaswamy said "This entire campaign is about speaking the TRUTH. We did not achieve our goal tonight & we need an America-First patriot in the White House. The people spoke loud & clear about who they want. Tonight I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Donald J. Trump and will do everything I can to make sure he is the next U.S. President. I am enormously proud of this team, this movement, and our country."
