Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has unveiled a sweeping plan to shut down federal agencies, including the FBI, and cut more than a million federal jobs, should he win the presidency.
Federal agencies shutdown: Ramaswamy first unveiled his plan during a town hall at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics back in July and then at a speech at the America First Policy Institute in Washington on Sept. 13. The 38-year-old businessman outlined a radical vision to significantly reduce the size and influence of the federal government.
His initial proposal included shutting down five federal agencies, namely the FBI, the Department of Education, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service. He said he intends to slash the federal workforce by half in his first year as president and further reduce it by 75% during his first term.
Challenging the deep state: Ramaswamy reiterated his plan to abolish federal agencies at the California Republican Party Fall Convention in Anaheim on Saturday. Ramaswamy also pledged to shut down the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
