Third-Party and Independent Candidates

The entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate is considering a run as an independent. Yang’s campaign would focus on innovative ideas like Universal Basic Income and modernizing the economy.

• Jesse Ventura

The former governor of Minnesota and pro-wrestler has expressed interest in running as a third-party candidate. Ventura’s unconventional approach and outsider status could attract voters disillusioned with the two-party system.

Key Issues for 2024

• Monetary Recuperation: With the country actually recuperating from the pandemic's financial effect, up-and-comers should introduce hearty designs for work creation, expansion control, and backing for private ventures.
• Medical services: Medical services change keeps on being a basic issue, with banters over the eventual fate of the Reasonable Consideration Act and potential new medical care models.
• Environmental Change: As ecological worries develop, up-and-comers will be supposed to frame their arrangements for tending to environmental change and advancing manageable practices.
• Civil rights: Issues of racial imbalance, police change, and casting a ballot rights will be at the front of many missions, reflecting continuous civil rights developments.
  International strategy: With worldwide pressures and collusions moving, applicants should explain their techniques for keeping up with public safety and cultivating global collaboration.

Conclusion

The 2024 presidential election promises to be a dynamic and closely watched contest, with a diverse slate of candidates bringing various perspectives and policy proposals to the table.
