In a recent interview, Republican Larry Elder affirmed his commitment to winning the 2024 presidential race. Elder, a former conservative radio talk show host and the leading Republican candidate in California's 2021 gubernatorial recall election, suggested he would consider a vice presidential role if his presidential campaign proves unsuccessful.

Elder emphasized that his primary focus is on securing the presidential nomination, stating that the vice presidency is not his current objective. However, he acknowledged that he wouldn't dismiss the possibility if a presidential nominee approached him about joining the ticket.

Current polling data shows Elder at around 1% in the Republican primary race, highlighting the challenges he faces. His immediate goal is to qualify for the first Republican presidential primary debate in August, which requires meeting specific criteria, including securing donations from 40,000 individual donors.

Elder's campaign strategy centers on contrasting his policies with the Biden-Harris administration, criticizing their actions and highlighting issues like the economy, border security, and crime. He aims to bring attention to topics he feels other candidates are neglecting, such as fatherlessness and the discussion surrounding systemic racism in America.

Elder believes his campaign is gaining traction as he addresses issues that resonate with voters. He expressed confidence in his ability to make a significant impact on the race, regardless of the outcome, by raising awareness about critical issues facing the nation.
