Democratic narrative
Putting aside how terrible Larry Elder would be for the country, particularly for Black Americans, he has no chance of winning the Oval Office in 2024. As far to the right as he is, the GOP wants even more fringe candidates like DeSantis or Trump. His campaign will be as laughable as it is implausible.
Republican narrative
While Larry Elder undeniably has an uphill battle against other candidates, particularly Trump, he promotes crucial ideas, such as prioritizing freedom over tyranny, racial harmony over division, and national security over pandering to China — changes the US desperately needs and goals that would make him a strong contender.
