Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder has announced his bid for presidency in the 2024 election (politico.com). Elder, who finished atop in the field of challengers against Gavin Newsom in California’s 2021 recall election, announced his candidacy on Thursday (washingtonpost.com). Elder’s announcement makes him one of the many Republican candidates seeking to contend in the 2024 presidential election (nytimes.com).
Elder has cited his “moral, religious, and patriotic duty” to give back to the country as his reasons for running (nytimes.com). This comes after his unsuccessful bid to replace California governor Newsom in the 2021 recall effort (nbcnews.com).
The conservative radio host will be joining former President Donald Trump in the race for the 2024 election (foxnews.com). Trump’s name had been circulating as a possible contender for the next presidential election but has yet to confirm his candidacy (axios.com).
Elder’s candidacy announcement has sparked conversations online, with some voicing their support for the conservative host (yahoo.com). Others have criticized the move, citing his controversies and past comments on issues such as women’s rights, climate change, and systemic racism (independent.co.uk).
As the race for the 2024 presidential election heats up, it remains to be seen how Elder’s campaign will fare against the growing list of Republican candidates seeking to succeed Joe Biden as the next US President (cnn.com).
