Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy took a shot at former President Donald Trump for damaging America with "politics of vengeance and grievance."

During an interview on ABC's This Week program, host Martha Raddatz asked the candidate how he would win over "America First" voters who support former President Donald Trump.

"How do you walk that fine line?" Raddatz wondered.

"America First does not belong to Trump; it doesn't belong to me," Ramaswamy replied. "It belongs to the people of this country, and I think we take that agenda even further if we're doing it based on first principles and moral authority as Reagan did rather than on vengeance and grievance, and that's what I'm bringing to this race."
