Miami Mayor Francis Suarez officially launches 2024 presidential bid
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez officially launches 2024 presidential bidMiami GOP Mayor Francis Suarez officially launched his 2024 presidential campaign with a video released Thursday morning, marking the long-shot candidate’s formal entry to the race.
“My dad taught me that you get to choose your battles, and I am choosing the biggest one of my life. I’m going to run for president, I’m going to run for your children and mine. Let’s give them the future they deserve. It’s time to take things into our own hands. It’s time to get things started,” Suarez, who filed to run on Wednesday, says in the video.
Suarez is set to speak later Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. During an appearance on Fox News over the weekend, the mayor said he would make a “major announcement” in the coming weeks and pointed to his remarks at the Reagan Library as “one that Americans should tune in to.”
Suarez, a Cuban American, is currently in his second term as mayor of Miami, Florida’s second-most populous city. Until recently, he also served as the president of the bipartisan US Conference of Mayors.
