Republican presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has announced a program that offers people a financial reward for helping to raise money for his campaign. People who join the program will get to keep 10% of the money they raise.

The author and entrepreneur, who is one of the many candidates currently vying for the GOP presidential nomination, is calling the plan the "Vivek Kitchen Cabinet."

"A small oligopoly of political fundraisers is already making an ungodly amount of $ on this election. It's disgusting. I'm breaking up that cartel. Today we're launching the Vivek Kitchen Cabinet: starting today, *anyone* can fundraise for the Vivek 2024 campaign & make a 10% commission. If someone else is getting rich on this, it might as well be you. Let's go," he tweeted.

According to a webpage about the program, those who participate will get "a dedicated fundraising link to achieve their goals" and receive "10% per donation attributed to their dedicated link."

Ramaswamy's campaign platform includes policies such as utilizing the military to secure the nation's southern border and "annihilate Mexican drug cartels." The campaign site indicates that the candidate wants to nix "toxic government agencies: Dept of Education, FBI, IRS, and more (and rebuild from scratch when required)."

Former President Donald Trump holds a decisive lead over the rest of the Republican primary field, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is in a distant second place.

The first GOP presidential primary debate will be held on August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In order to be eligible to participate, candidates must meet various criteria, such as fundraising and polling thresholds, and they must sign a pledge committing to support the party's eventual presidential nominee.
