Despite a failed run at the governorship of California in 2021, former conservative radio host Larry Elder is considering a run for President in 2024.
During an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, Elder told the SiriusXM host that his launching a presidential bid isn’t out of the question.
“So at the very least were I to become governor or president — if I decide to run, I’m thinking about it — I would have the bully pulpit and people would have to hear the kinds of things you and I are talking about and they would have to consider them. And they aren’t doing that right now,” Elder said as the pair discussed policing in America after the recent death of Tyre Nichols.
“Wait a minute — you just slipped a little news in there — are you actually thinking about running for President?” asked Kelly.
“News nugget!” Elder joked. “Yes, I am. I’m gonna probably announce if I decide to do it at the end of March, early April.”
Elder then mentioned he had made trips to Iowa and New Hampshire recently, adding that he’s “meeting with donors” and is “strongly giving it consideration”.
A longtime nationally syndicated radio host, Elder pushed a recall of another 2024 prospective presidential candidate, Gavin Newsom (D-CA), which would have seen the radio host become governor of the state if the recall was successful. However, the measure failed by a nearly 62-38 margin.
It isn’t the first time he’s mentioned he is considering a run in 2024. Elder told Salem Media host Mike Gallagher he was giving “strong consideration” to a bid in August of last year.
