“I’m looking at ideas and which idea lands on which side of the aisle,” Ramsey explained. “Where am I most likely to get a tax policy I like?

Ramsey’s endorsement wasn’t without some expected backlash. Aware that his choice might alienate some listeners, Ramsey dismissed the potential fallout. “That’s okay. I can deal with that. That has happened to me for 30 years,” he said, referencing past instances where his opinions caused controversy. Ramsey emphasized that while people can stop tuning in, they cannot cancel him. “I own the show, so you’re not going to get to cancel me,” he asserted.
Ramsey’s decision comes after a recent high-profile interview with Trump, in which the two discussed pressing financial issues like inflation, energy, and real estate. Ramsey’s show, which reaches over 18 million weekly listeners, has become a staple for Americans seeking financial advice. Despite his endorsement, Ramsey reiterated that he’s open to discussions with other political figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, if the opportunity arises.
His bold stance has already sparked conversations, but one thing is clear: Dave Ramsey isn’t afraid of losing a few listeners if it means standing by his beliefs.
