Vivek Ramaswamy, whose predictions had previously made headlines for their accuracy, went viral again on social media with another prediction he made last year.

Ramaswamy shared a video from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2023 in which he can be heard saying, “Mark my words. I predict a 1980 and 1984-style landslide election in this country.”

Ramaswamy re-shared the video on Wednesday with the caption: “My favorite prediction: a *landslide* in the 1980s-style elections. In March 2023 it seemed unthinkable. Now it’s a reality.”

The Indian-American Republican, who ran for president but later dropped out and supported US President-elect Donald Trump, was referring to Trump’s victory over Democratic nominee and US Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump won decisively, receiving 292 Electoral College votes.

Ramaswamy was referring in the 2023 video to Ronald Reagan, the Republican candidate who defeated incumbent President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. Reagan won comfortably with 489 electoral votes compared to Carter’s 49 in 1980.

He also referenced Reagan’s re-election in 1984, in which he won in a landslide against Democratic challenger Walter Mondale. Reagan received 525 electoral votes while Mondale received only 13.

“Another Vivek prophecy has come true!” wrote conservative commentator and author Ashley St. Clair.

Donald Trump had hinted at a possible role for Vivek Ramaswamy in his administration, praising his intelligence and abilities during a campaign campaign in October.

Ramaswamy also made headlines when he predicted earlier this year that President Joe Biden would not be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
