Larry Elder joins Donald Trump in growing GOP 2024 field
On April 21, 2023 by vichavanaConservative radio talk show host and former California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder is jumping into the race for the White House, joining a growing field of contenders taking on former President Donald Trump in the battle for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Elder on Thursday announced his candidacy for president in an interview on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight”
“America is in decline, but this decline is not inevitable. We can enter a new American Golden Age but must choose a leader to bring us there. That’s why I’m running for President,” Elder wrote in an accompanying statement.
Elder, a longtime conservative commentator, and popular nationally syndicated radio host, easily topped the field of replacement candidates in California’s gubernatorial recall election in September 2021 that Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom convincingly survived. Elder passed on taking on Newsom a second time when the governor easily won reelection last year.
The former attorney and author had been flirting with a White House run for months, saying numerous times that he was “very likely going to run for president,” with an announcement coming in the early spring.
The conservative host, who is Black, has said that he believes that among the top issues in the 2024 election are inflation, energy, and border security. But he’s also emphasized that he wants to highlight the plight of children in America being born to parents who are not married and to target what he argues is “this lie about systemic racism.”
