Manchester, New Hampshire | In the former campaign bus of US President Joe Biden, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is asking his minders whether he should wear sneakers or dress shoes to an event where he will hear from former opioid addicts in a small town in New Hampshire.

Ramaswamy, who at 37 is the first Millennial to run for the Republican presidential nomination, has targeted this state because he thinks there are some voters who may have been ignored, partly because the Democratic Party controversially decided to shift its primary from New Hampshire to South Carolina.
