Republican 2024 presidential candidate Larry Elder isn't placing in any national polls, but for him, his candidacy is very much alive and well.
A former Democrat, he's never held an elected position, instead earning his living as a lawyer before becoming a talk show host. He was a staple on KABC, calling himself "The Sage from South Central." Elder's popularity led him to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015. His most recent show, "The Larry Elder Show," was nationally syndicated on the Salem Radio Network and drew 1.5 million listeners, according to 2021 estimates.
"I thought the recall was a long shot. I wasn't sure that they would gather enough signatures for it to qualify," Elder told ABC News. , one of the new requirements the Republican National Committee has placed on candidates to make it to the first debate, and he told ABC News he's only about halfway to the required 40,000 unique donors needed."I think they benefit people who are establishment candidates, who are well known, who have a lot of money," Elder continued, "I don't see any reason why we have to be eliminating people this early.
By the time his father retired, he was a millionaire, according to Elder -- a fact that he says demonstrates that systemic racism is a lie, he told ABC News. But Elder, who rejects some of this terminology as divisive, goes so far as to not call himself an "African American." He instead refers to himself as "an American who is Black."
He blames "fatherlessness" as the real culprit for the setbacks Black Americans still face today. Elder claims changing the narrative is a part of the reason he's running for president.
