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.

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 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.
