Ramaswamy's Controversial Proposals: Raising Voting Age and Banning Gender-Affirming Care for Minors
TL;DR
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wants to raise the minimum voting age from 18 to 25, except for those who serve in the military, work as a first responder, or pass a civics test. He believes this will help address the recruitment deficit in the US military and boost national pride among Gen Z. However, his proposal would require a constitutional amendment, which is unlikely to pass, and conflicts with the 26th Amendment to the Constitution.
