1) Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, who sought to replace the California governor in a failed 2021 recall effort, announced Thursday he is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

Elder, 70, made the announcement on Fox News' “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and followed up with a tweet.“America is in decline, but this decline is not inevitable. We can enter a new American Golden Age, but we must choose a leader who can bring us there. That’s why I’m running for President,” he wrote.

2) CNN's Jeff Zeleny reports on the Robert F. Kennedy's 2024 presidential bid, which is met with skepticism from voters and the Kennedy family is publicly opposing his campaign against President Joe Biden.

3) Donald Trump

4) Asa Hutchinson  The former Arkansas governor launched his bid for the White House in April with a call for Trump to step aside to deal with his indictment. Hutchinson, 72, has touted his experience leading the deeply conservative state as proof he can deliver on policies Republican voters care about, citing tax cuts and job creation initiatives as particular sources of pride. Still, his name recognition remains limited outside Arkansas.

Other hopefuls: No official announcement
JOE BIDEN, RON DESANTIS, NIKKI HALEY, TIM SCOTT, MIKE PENCE, CHRIS CHRISTIE, CHRIS SUNUNU, VIVEK RAMASWAMY
