2024’s Presidential Candidates

By Allyson Kling

Even though the 2024 presidential election is over a year away, news has already started to come in on who’s taking part in the upcoming campaign. So far, unlike the 2020 election, there is only Republican and Democrat candidates so far, meaning the current list is absent of members of the alternative parties, such as the Green party, whose presidential candidate in 2020 was Howie Hawkins. The 2024 presidential election features a few familiar faces, along with many new politicians-turned candidates.
