9 candidates running for president in 2024
With the 2024 presidential election less than three months away, a series of unexpected twists and turns continue to shake up the race. After Republicans selected former President Donald Trump as their presidential nominee and Democrats picked President Joe Biden, a rematch of the 2020 presidential election was expected to occur.
However, Biden dropped out of the race following his performance in the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump that raised questions about his age and ability to do the job in a move that has upended the election. Democrats subsequently chose Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee.
While the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was expected to have an impact on the race, the state of the presidential contest shifted dramatically on Aug. 23, when Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump. Even as major candidates have exited and entered the race over the summer, including the leading third-party presidential hopeful, voters still have several options to choose from that have remained consistent.
