Republican Radio Host Considering Presidential Run Even if Trump Enters the Race

Conservative radio host Larry Elder revealed that he is considering a run for the White House in 2024 even if former President Donald Trump makes the same decision.

During an interview with the Des Moines Register, Elder said, “I don’t feel I’m running against him.”

He added, “I’m running for president. And I’m not running against anybody on the Republican side. I’m running against Joe Biden if he runs, or Kamala Harris if she runs.”

Elder told the outlet he is currently “kicking the tires” in Iowa as he considers his decision.

The Des Moines Register noted Elder gave a keynote speech over the weekend at an Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition event.

He previously attended the Iowa State Fair in August.

According to Elder, residents of Iowa approached him after recognizing him from the radio or other appearances on Fox News, as the outlet reported.

“Then they will say things like, ‘Well, I hope you’re going to run for higher office,'” Elder said.

He continued, “If I had a nickel for every time somebody said that, maybe I could fund my campaign.”

In September, 20201, Elder conceded after attempting to replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in a recall election.

“I can’t think of anything that this man has done in the last two years that suggests he deserves another day in office,” Elder said
