Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris    
Democrat

Vice President of the United States (2021 - present); Senator, U.S. Senate (2016 - 2020); Attorney General, California (2010 - 2016)

Kamala Harris is the current Vice President of the United States. When President Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race, he threw his support behind Harris. She said in a statement, "I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party and unite our nation to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda."

Independent/Other

Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council (1986 - 2017); founder, Waterkeeper Alliance; founder, Children's Health Defense; anti-vaccine activist; author

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spent most of his career working as an environmental lawyer. In recent years he has dedicated his energy to anti-vaccine campaigns. After starting his campaign as a Democrat, in October 2023 Kennedy announced an independent/third-party run for president. In August 2024, Kennedy announced he was suspending his campaign and supporting Donald Trump.

Chase Oliver
Chase Oliver    
Libertarian

Candidate, U.S. Senator from Georgia (2020); restaurant business

Chase Oliver gained national attention when his U.S. Senate campaign gave him the opportunity to debate Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock. That race ended with a run-off between Warnock and his Republican challenger, which is one reason why Oliver supports ranked-choice voting. He also has a solution to the student debt crisis: make all current loans interest-free and end all future government-guaranteed loans. He secured the Libertarian Party nomination for president in May 2024.

Jill Stein
Jill Stein

Candidate, U.S. President (2012, 2016); Candidate, Governor of Massachusetts (2002, 2010); Candidate, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (2006); Candidate, Massachusetts House of Representatives (2004); Associate, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (1992 - 2006); Instructor of Medicine (1982 - 2006)

Jill Stein ran for president in 2012 and 2016 as a member of the Green Party. On her 2024 campaign website she writes, "I'm running for President to offer a better choice for the people. Let's put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot across the country." 

Donald Trump    
Republican

U.S. President (2016 - 2020); Businessman; Television personality; Author; CEO, The Trump Organization; Chairman, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, Inc.

Shortly after the 2022 midterm election former president Donald Trump announced his third presidential campaign from Florida. Sticking with his previous campaign catchphrase, he said, "Our country was great. Our country is not great anymore." He is a formidable campaign fundraiser, but not all Republicans are as enchanted with him as they were in the past. Still, he emerged as the frontrunner, handily winning the New Hampshire Republican primary.
