Finance guru Dave Ramsey makes endorsement in 2024 presidential race

He has some financial advice for the country.

Finance whiz and radio host Dave Ramsey announced on his show that he intends to vote for former President Donald Trump — and then dared anyone who didn’t like his decision to just try and cancel him.

“I’m looking at ide🍒as and which idea lands on which side of the aisle,” Ramsey explained, before li𓃲sting out key issues such as taxes and immigration. “So I’m going to tell you, I’m voting for Donald Trump. Because I checked those boxes and more of them are on that side than the other.” 

Where am I most likely to get a tax policy that I like? Where am I most likely to get an immigration policy I like? Where am I most likely to get a foreign policy I like? Where am I most likely to get a gun policy I like? A climate change policy I like? A woke policy I like? That I agree with.”

“And I can check those boxes very clearly, very quickly on these two candidates,” he continued. “So I’m going to tell you, I’m voting for Donald Trump. Because I checked those boxes and more of them are on that side than the other.”

Ramsey hosts the eponymous “The Ramsey Solution,” a syndicated program that claims to reach an  combined listeners weekly across its platforms. He’s also the CEO of Ramsey Solutions. 

On his program, Ramsey gives financial advice to everyday Americans and takes calls from individuals in dire straits to walk them thr✅ough potential soluti𝕴ons. 

The 64-year-old radio host has  as fiscally conservative and said that he is a Christian. At tim🌠es on hi🌄s show, he has decried what he considers to be too much government involvement in the economy and suggested that presidents should have minimal intervention in it.

Taking note of the polarizing nature of opining on the presidential race, Ramsey stressed that he’s not too concerned about backlash. 

“If you want to vote the other way, as long you’re being thoughtful about it and you’re being a nice person, we’re still friends,” he said. “Some of you are never gonna listen to me again after this. That’s okay, I can deal with that. That’s happened to me for 30 years.”

Ramsey argued that those who want to cancel him will discover “That’s hard to do” because “I own the show.”

“You can leave, but you can’t cancel me.”

Earlier this month, Ramsey aired a wide-rang🌼ing interview with Trump, 78, in which he pre🐷ssed him on an array of economic policies. 

He later praised Trump’s approach to energy policy and revealed he offered Vice President Kamala Harris an opportunity for a sit-down interview as well. 

Still, Ramsey that “Neither one of these people are going to be your savior” and that neither one is “fiscally responsible.”

The financial whiz has🍸 a  to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 million to $200 million.
