Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis canceled his campaign on Sunday, shortly before Tuesday’s primary election in New Hampshire.
The unfavorable results obtained last week in the Iowa caucuses put an end to the aspirations of biotechnology entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie resigned from his campaign earlier this month.
Here’s a look at the top candidates vying for the Republican and Democratic nominations, as well as third-party contenders:
Republicans in the primaries
The former president announced his third campaign to reach the White House on November 15, 2022, at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
The favorite Republican candidate remains extremely popular for his great work in the four years in office between 2017 and 2021. The 45th president of the United States has been “the most pro-life” and pro-property president of the United States, after the government of the respected and beloved Ronald Reagan.
Trump revealed the true intentions and actions of what is known as the Deep State, a shadow power in the United States that pursues globalism and the internal destruction of the conservative bases of North America, transforming the Western capitalist economy and destroying the culture and history of the most anti-communist nation on the planet.
The 45th president created MAGA (Make America Great Again), the largest conservative nationalist movement in US history, followed by several tens of millions of Americans who want a country similar to that of several decades ago and with greater economic, political and military.
At the moment he is the great favorite to return to the White House.
The former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina governor became Trump’s rival when she kicked off her campaign on Feb. 15 in Charleston. She is the only woman on the Republican side.
The former Trump Cabinet official once said she would not run against her former boss for the White House in 2024. However, she changed her mind, citing the country’s serious economic problems and the need for change that does not give in to the control of the extreme left in Congress and in almost all sectors of the country. Trump has called her a globalist for his latest statements in his primary campaign.
Haley came in third in the Iowa caucuses, behind DeSantis, and has always been in fourth place in voting intentions in national polls. Haley has very little chance of advancing in the race, much less of beating Trump.
Democrats in the primaries
US President Joe Biden formally announced his re-election campaign on April 25, asking voters for time “to finish their work.” But in reality he should have said to end the disaster that he has created inside and outside the country.
Biden, the worst president in US history due to his negative management in all portfolios and the oldest, would be 86 years old at the end of his second term, and some of his critics wonder if he can carry out the office effectively. given his age. But regardless of his age, Biden has demonstrated from the beginning his mental and physical inability to be in the White House. Millions of Americans believe that Barack Obama is the one who really pulls the strings of the current government. In fact, 80% of Biden’s cabinet are former officials during the Obama administration.
More than 72% of voters do not want Joe Biden in the White House for another four years, after a chaotic presidential administration. From immigration, the economy, national and foreign policy to his enormous expenditures of taxpayers’ money, Biden barely has 22% support, the worst figure for a North American leader.
Biden promised to “restore the soul of the United States” and has done the opposite, with a much more polarized country and record inflation for three years.
Self-help author Marianne Williamson entered the Democratic primary on March 4 in Washington, calling for “a vision of justice and love so powerful that it overcomes the forces of hate, injustice and fear.” ”.
During his unsuccessful 2020 presidential campaign, he proposed the creation of a Department of Peace, and stated that the federal government should pay considerable financial reparations to African Americans in reparation for the slavery and discrimination they have suffered for centuries.
The Minnesota congressman was the first Democrat chosen against Biden for the nomination. After months of calling for a primary challenger to be named, Phillips himself entered the race on October 27 with a speech in front of the New Hampshire state legislature building.
While Phillips has praised Biden, the 54-year-old congressman also says Democrats need more capable voices to avoid a nightmare scenario in which Trump wins another election next fall.
Phillips is one of the richest members of Congress and heir to the Phillips Distilling Company, his stepfather’s empire, owner of important brands of vodka and schnapps. He was once president of the company, but he also ran the Italian ice cream factory Talenti. His grandmother, the late Pauline Phillips, was known as the advice columnist “Dear Abby.”
Independent candidates
The successful author and environmental lawyer announced on October 9 that he was renouncing his Democratic candidacy to run as an independent candidate.
The nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, he initially launched a risky bet against Biden for the Democratic nomination on April 19 in Boston. Kennedy was practically forced to leave the Democratic race due to all the obstacles and pressure from the Republican National Committee, which at all times torpedoed his candidacy to favor Biden.
Kennedy has emerged as one of the main voices of the movement against COVID-19 vaccines, due to the great damage they have caused recognized by Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, Biochemistry and by scientists. In recent years, he has also been linked to conservative figures
The environmentalist, whose third-party presidential bid was criticized by Democrats — who accused her of helping put Trump in the White House — says she will run again for the nation’s highest office.
Stein announced on November 9 that he was running under the Green Party banner. ”I run for president to offer an option to the people, outside of the failed two-party system,” he said.
She ran against Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 as a Green Party candidate and received about 1% of the vote. Some Democrats said her candidacy took votes away from Clinton, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin.
The progressive (socialist) activist announced on October 5 that he was renouncing his presidential candidacy for the Green Party and would instead run as an independent candidate.
West wrote in X that he would run as an independent to “end the iron fist of the ruling class and ensure true democracy!” He added that “we need to end the control of the duopoly.
He initially announced in June that he would run as a member of the People’s Party before switching to the Green Party.
