Tracking the 2024 presidential candidates

As the presidential primaries approach, the field of potential candidates — particularly on the GOP side — continues to grow. Former President Donald Trump was among the first to declare his candidacy for the GOP nomination and is the front-runner in early polls. President Joe Biden announced his intent to run for re-election in April.

The Democratic and Republican National Committees have not confirmed their 2024 schedules, but the first nominating contests could be held as early as January. Check back for details on declared and prospective candidates and the status of their campaigns.
