The 2024 United States presidential election, which is the 60th quadrennial election, is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. If you’re wondering who Is Running For President in 2024? Several potential 2024 candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties are presenting a challenge to President Joe Biden.

It’s worth noting that the list of potential 2024 candidates may change as the election draws closer.

The List of 2024 Confirmed Republicans:

Republicans consist of a crowded field and a major challenge for current President Joe Biden. The list of Republicans includes:

Donald Trump:

(Date of Announcement: Nov. 15, 2022,)
Former President Donald Trump remains a strong contender among the Republican Party base despite facing legal issues and controversies after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s popularity and large number of supporters could potentially create difficulties for President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.

Trump has a significant influence over a portion of the Republican Party base and has successfully raised money and reshaped the party in his image. However, his presidency was marked by controversies, including two impeachments and ongoing investigations into his role on Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, and his false claims about the 2020 presidential election, leading to negative public perceptions of him. The future of the Republican Party will depend on how it decides to move forward and what priorities it chooses to emphasize.

Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley a former governor of Carolina and a United Nations member under the Trump presidency has announced her candidacy for the 2024 election campaign. She is running for President.

List Of 2024 Confirmed Democrats:

President Joe Biden (Announce on- April, 25):

United States President Joe Biden has launched his re-election campaign for the 2024 presidential race. If successful, this would mark his second term as president and a potential rematch against Republican contender Donald Trump. Biden made the announcement via a video released on Tuesday, April 25, coinciding with the fourth anniversary of his first successful presidential campaign. While a majority of Democrats are in favor of Biden winning against a Republican challenger in next year’s election, the President is currently facing some of the lowest approval ratings of his tenure.

Additionally, his age has raised concerns about his ability to effectively serve for a second term as he would be 86 years old at the end of it. In fact, Biden is relying on his first-term accomplishments and more than five decades of experience in Washington to outweigh concerns about his age. While he is expected to secure his party’s nomination without serious opposition, he faces a difficult challenge to retain the presidency in a nation that remains bitterly divided.

“I said we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are,” Biden said in his campaign video. “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer.”

The Republican Party reacted to Biden’s announcement by calling the Democrat “out of touch”. The Republican National Committee released a statement stating that Biden, despite creating multiple crises, believes he is deserving of another four years, demonstrating a clear disconnect with reality.

If voters allow President Biden to ‘finish the job‘ and complete his term, it presents an opportunity for him to address ongoing challenges such as managing inflation, reducing crime rates, and addressing border security. In addition, some advocates may continue to express concerns regarding educational outcomes and the economic well-being of American families.
