Elder was the top Republican opponent to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, during the unsuccessful recall effort in 2021.
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder announced Thursday that he’s launching a 2024 presidential campaign, joining a growing list of Republicans vying for the GOP nomination.
A robust turnout from Democrats in California, who outnumbered Republicans 2-1, allowed Newsom to keep his job. But Elder’s name recognition pushed him to the top of the challenger field in the recall, garnering the most support among GOP voters.Elder — who had previously said President Joe Biden won in 2020 “fairly and squarely” — has been a supporter of Trump.
The radio host has faced heavy scrutiny related to his long history of disparaging remarks about women, and he has been accused of domestic violence and of brandishing a gun in 2015 by his then-fiancée and former employee Alexandra Datig. Elder has denied the allegations.
