Ramaswamy Campaign Cancels All TV Ad Spending Weeks Before Iowa Caucuses

The Spin
Narrative A
Ramaswamy doesn’t want to admit it, but his campaign is on its last legs. If the polling isn’t enough to prove he has no chance in Iowa, or any of the other early states, the fact that he already conceded the majority of the spotlight by recently cutting back on TV spending should be enough to sideline him.
Narrative B
The Ramaswamy campaign isn’t conceding, but rather pivoting to be more nimble and better target its message while following the data — something the other candidates, who are throwing money away, aren’t doing. Ramaswamy is still in this race to win it and Iowa is set to be the site of a major political upset.
Metaculus Prediction
