Many Republicans are running for president in 2024, and Donald Trump is the most popular. They all want to beat Joe Biden or one of his longshot opponents.
There are a lot of famous candidates running as Republicans to remove President Joe Biden from office in 2024. Four years ago, the pandemic changed how Americans campaigned and voted.
Three years ago, thousands of rioters violently protested at the nation’s Capitol to change the results of the last election. Now, the U.S. will face new problems in the political process. On April 25, President Joe Biden officially began his campaign for reelection in a video in which he asked voters to give him time to “finish this job.”
Biden will be the oldest president in U.S. history when his second term ends. Some of his foes are worried that he won’t be able to do an excellent job because of his age. Many Democratic voters said they would instead he not run, but he is likely to win the Democratic election easily.
Joe Biden wants to “restore the soul of America,” and he plans to run on that promise. He fought the coronavirus pandemic and got essential bills like the bipartisan infrastructure package, laws to support high-tech manufacturing, and climate measures passed during his first two years as president.
Take a look at the leading candidates for the Republican and Democratic nominations, as well as the candidates from the third party, as per reports of APNews:

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FIELD
DONALD TRUMP
The former president announced his third run for president at his Mar-a-Lago resort on November 15, 2022. This forced the party to decide if they wanted to support a candidate whose refusal to accept the loss in 2020 led to the attack on the U.S. Capitol and is still a big part of his speeches.
It’s still trendy in the Republican Party for the front-runner to be president twice, which made history, and he also started the Capitol uprising on January 6, 2021. Trump, who called himself America’s “most pro-life president,” chose three right judges to join the Supreme Court.
This made it possible to overturn Roe v. Wade, which had made abortion legal across the country for almost 50 years. He signed sweeping changes to the criminal justice system into law in 2019. These changes lowered the required minimum sentences and gave judges more freedom to sentence people.
Trump was charged with 34 felonies in March for making false business records as part of a hush-money plan. He was the first former president to be criminally charged.
Since then, he has been arrested for 57 more felonies in three other criminal cases. He is accused of mishandling classified papers, keeping them without permission, and trying to change the results of the 2020 election illegally.
His massive victory in the first Iowa caucuses made it clear that he was the favourite to win the GOP nod.
NIKKI HALEY
The former ambassador to the U.N. and governor of South Carolina was the first prominent Republican to run against Trump. Her campaign began on February 15 in Charleston. She is the only woman running for office in the GOP.
The person who used to work in Trump’s cabinet once said she wouldn’t run against her old boss for president in 2024. She changed her mind, though, because of the economy and the need for “generational change,” which was a reference to Trump’s age of 77. In the Iowa polls, Haley came in third, just behind DeSantis.
DEMOCRATIC FIRST GRADE
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON
On March 4, self-help author Marianne Williamson ran for the Democratic primary in Washington, D.C. She called for “a vision of justice and love that is so powerful that it will override the forces of hatred, injustice, and fear.”
During her failed 2020 presidential bid, she called for creating a Department of Peace. She said that the federal government should pay Black Americans a lot of money to make up for centuries of slavery and discrimination.
DEAN PHILLIPS
The congressman from Minnesota is the first official Democrat to run against Biden for the nomination. Phillips ran for office on October 27 with a speech outside New Hampshire’s statehouse. He had been calling for a primary foe for months.
Phillips, 54, has said many nice things about Biden, but he also says that Democrats need younger voices to stop a terrible thing from happening: Trump wins another election next fall.
Phillips is one of the wealthiest congressmen and the heir to the Phillips Distilling Company empire, which owns many well-known vodka and schnapps brands. He was the head of that company and ran Talenti, a gelato shop. His grandma was Pauline Phillips, who wrote the advice column “Dear Abby.” She died in 2011.

BIDS THAT STAND ALONE
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
The best-selling author and environmental lawyer said on October 9 that he was dropping his Democratic presidential bid and running as an independent.
He tried to run against Biden for the Democratic nomination on April 19 in Boston, even though it was a long shot. Kennedy is the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the son of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. When he switched parties, he told everyone he planned to be a spoiler for both Biden and Trump.
Kennedy has become one of the most critical voices in the fight against vaccines. However, public health experts and even members of his own family have said that his work is dangerous and misleading. Many people on the far right have also tied him to them in recent years.
JILL STEIN
Democrats say the environmental activist’s third-party presidential run in 2016 helped Trump win the White House. She says she will run again for the country’s top office.
On November 9, Stein said she would again run for office under the Green Party flag. She said, “I’m running for president to give the people that choice outside the failed two-party system.”
As a Green Party candidate 2016, she ran against Trump and Hillary Clinton and got about 1% of the vote. Some Democrats said that her running for office took votes away from Clinton, especially in Wisconsin and other “swing states.”
CORNEL WEST
On October 5, the radical campaigner and scholar said he was giving up his run for president under the Green Party banner and would instead run as an independent.
West said on X that he was running independently to “end the iron grip of the ruling class and ensure true democracy!” Also, “We need to break the duopoly’s hold and give the people power,” he said.
He first said in June that he would be running as a member of The People’s Party, but he quickly changed his mind and is now running as a member of the Green Party.
