US Election 2024: Trump, Harris, Beyonce and Springsteen on campaign trail - as it happened
The race for the White House is hotting up, with a number of high-profile candidates already declaring their intention to run.
Among them are former US President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, singer Beyonce and musician Bruce Springsteen. It is too early to say who will be the frontrunners, but all four candidates have a strong following and are likely to attract significant support. Their announcement video have been viewed for millions of times.
Trump, who lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, has been teasing a potential run for some time and his official announcement has been widely anticipated.
He remains a popular figure among Republicans, and his supporters are eager to see him return to the White House. Harris, who is the first woman and first black person to serve as Vice President, is also seen as a potential frontrunner. She is popular among Democrats and has a strong record in government.
Beyonce and Springsteen are both highly respected figures in the entertainment industry, and their entry into the race has surprised many. However, both have a history of activism and have spoken out on a number of social and political issues. It remains to be seen whether they can translate their popularity into electoral success, but their candidacies are sure to add an interesting dynamic to the race.
The 2024 US election is shaping up to be one of the most closely fought in recent history.
With such a strong field of candidates, it is difficult to predict who will emerge victorious. However, one thing is for sure: the race for the White House is well and truly on. The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on the future of the United States, so it is important for voters to stay informed and make their voices heard.
