Some like that it is not so hot.
Although Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy touts himself as a politician who can handle the pressure, some describe him as a man obsessed with temperature, demanding that his offices be kept at 64 degrees or lower.
Ramaswamy, a biotechnology executive, allegedly orders thermostats at his companies Roivant Sciences and Strive Asset Management to be kept at temperatures so cold that employees are forced to use heaters at their desks, former workers told Business Insider.
