Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy speaks during the Moms for Liberty Joyful Warriors national summit at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown on July 01, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is adding a novel incentive to his grassroots fundraising operation: paying supporters back a chunk of what they raise for his campaign.
Ramaswamy's campaign did not immediately say which agency will conduct those background checks.
Soliciting groups of donors for campaign contributions, or bundling, is commonplace in campaign fundraising.
But Ramaswamy's program looks poised to expand the practice beyond the usually small circle of wealthy or well-connected operatives who tap their networks for checks.
