“Mike Biundo’s hire as National Senior Advisor is yet another indicator that Vivek’s campaign is leveling up in the early states and nationwide,” Ben Yoho, Ramaswamy’s campaign CEO, said in a statement to POLITICO. “Mike brings decades of presidential campaign experience, and is one of a handful of operatives that has helped to lead winning campaigns in both the early states of New Hampshire and Iowa.”

Scott Schweitzer, a Columbus, Ohio-based operative, remains the co-chair of the PAC and will continue in his role.

Ramaswamy rails against the “corrupting influence” of super PACs and their “puppetry” even as he ostensibly benefits from one.

Pressed on that reality in a roundtable with reporters on Wednesday in New Hampshire, Ramaswamy said “the system should be changed to make sure that $3,300 per primary and $3,300 per general election is truly the only amount that you can give in order to be able to expressly support a candidate.”

But, he said, “if there are independent entities that want to express their opinions on issues, that’s absolutely their right.”

Ramaswamy has said he would publicly call on any super PAC supporting him to give money back to megadonors — but only if the “other main candidates” do the same thing.

“So far, I’ve heard deafening, pin-drop silence,” he said.
