As more contenders enter the race and some withdraw, the 2024 US Presidency is taking shape week by week.
So far, seven Republicans have begun their bids for the party’s nomination, and on April 25, exactly four years after he entered the run in 2020, President Biden formally began his reelection campaign with a video.
The 2024 US Presidency
The number of Republican candidates for president is anticipated to increase as the campaign season goes on, but with the first primary still almost a year away, a lot can change before voters go to the polls.
Although a few Republicans have already begun their bids for the party’s nomination, it is generally believed that more contenders will enter the race in the upcoming months.
For ambitious politicians, the appeal of seeking the nation’s highest office and the desire to influence the course of the Republican Party are powerful motivators.

The Two Indian Candidates
The two potential Indian candidates are listed below.
NIKKI HALEY
Haley, 51, the former governor of South Carolina and Trump’s representative to the UN, has made a point of highlighting both her relative youth in comparison to Biden and Trump as well as her background as the daughter of two Indian immigrants.
In contrast to many of her classmates, Haley has developed a reputation in the Republican Party as a strong conservative who can speak about problems of race and gender with more authority.
Additionally, she has positioned herself as a tenacious protector of American interests abroad. Republican voters support her at a rate of roughly 4%.
VIVEK RAMASWAMY
Ramaswamy, a 37-year-old former investor and executive in the biotechnology industry, established a company in 2022 to pressure businesses to drop their corporate governance, social responsibility, and environmental activities.
He declared his candidacy for the GOP nomination in February.
The political outsider has generated a lot of buzz among grassroots voters as a potential Trump rival, but he is still a long shot.
Ramaswamy, who is 37 years old and has an estimated net worth of $600 million, has branded himself a anti-woke capitalist and disapproved of corporate investment based on ESG principles.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Ramaswamy has ties to both Senator J.D. Vance and well-known Republican donor Peter Thiel.
