Tucker Carlson ends his Show with an announcement for President in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

”Ladies in gentlemen the Republican Party has been in disarray since President Donald Trump left office, I mean look at the people who are running, Ted Cruz a narcissist who goes whichever the wind blows, Tom Cotton a neocon who wants our men in women in the Middle East, Tim Scott another neocon who doesn’t say as disastrous things as Tom Cotton and Ron DeSantis The Florida governor who tries to tell the line between being a establishment neocon conservative and following true to the values and policies that President Trump put forth and won the Midwest by. That’s why I’m here in Pennsylvania because I intend to keep the Midwest read! The people want a populist conservative Who is willing to call out the cancel culture and anti-first amendment crusade by the liberal Democrats and also at the same time the neo conservative disastrous policies similar to George W. Bush that helped wreck our economy! That’s why today I will be entering the race for president. For years President Trump has done everything he can to help this great country and now it’s time for us to take that movement forward!”

"My fellow American, I am running for President, because it is time for a change! When children in our country, must go to school hungry, and live in fear of school shootings, it is time for a change. When millions of Americans suffer through poverty, while we spend millions of dollars on the military, and kick backs for fat cats, it is time for a change. When millions of Americans are uninsured, while pharmaceutical CEOs reap millions of dollars in profits, it is time for a change. This is the change campaign! We are going to take the White House, and we are going to give the middle class, and working people, their due! Heroes like FDR, LBJ, and HHH guide us on our quest to end poverty, and make the rich pay their fair share! With your help, we can make this place a paradise, and make America, once more, the envy of the entire world!"

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) announces his bid for President of the United States in Charleston, South Carolina

"Hello South Carolina! It's great to be with y'all here today. I was born right here in Charleston, South Carolina on the deathbed of Jim Crow. As the Civil Rights movement reached its apex my mother was giving birth to one of her many rowdy children. Life was not easy for us. My dad left when I was 7 and had it not been for my mother I scarcely would have made it through High School. But my mother wanted better for her children. You see, my mom knew that America was a land of opportunity and that even though if you looked like us you had to work twice as hard, the reward for working twice as hard was better than any where else in the world. I owe my mother everything. I owe to her as much as I owe the great people of South Carolina. You see, I was born just down the street at Charleston General Hospital. Today, as we look out over the beautiful port of Charleston just a few hundred yards from the place of my birth, I can't help but think of my ancestors who were brought in chains through this very port and held as slaves in South Carolina. I can't help but think of their journey as captives to a strange new land and how terrified they must have been but how steeled their resolve was still to protect their family. It's hard to imagine now, but the son of those slaves, born right here in Charleston, is now standing proudly atop the Port of Charleston as the first black man elected to the Senate from the state of South Carolina. My story is like so many others because only in America can over the course of a couple decades a family go from sharecropper to Congressman and from slave to Senator. I owe this country and my mother for making that happen."

"But I also owe the people of South Carolina a great deal. I owe the people I represent proper representation and a fighting voice in Washington. This country that I love and which has given me everything is broken. At the highest levels of government the constitution is ignored and at all levels of law enforcment equal protection is discarded. Even now in 2024, we fail to live up to that goal of all men being created equal. And yet, with each passing year we strive closer. This is what makes America great. Our nation is an experiment in endless self-refinement. We are a nation built on the idea that hard work begets reward. We are built on the capitalist and enlightened principle that there is nothing a free man or woman cannot accomplish with grit and opportunity. The American people have grit in spades, it's up to us to ensure the opportunity is there for the taking."

"We all know that taxes are too high. We all know that government is too big. We all know that be it people of color, immigrants, or the unborn we don't do nearly enough to defend the defenseless and protect the unprotected. This problems are big. They are institutional. They are the symptoms of years of growing racial division and oppressive government. But there is hope. Always in America, is there hope. Today, the son of slaves is ready to fight back. I'm ready to lead the charge of patriotic and courageous Americans against the predatory welfare state, against big government, against the war on drugs, against systemic racism, against crushing taxes, against the march against freedom. I'm ready to lead the vanguard of American liberty. Those dedicated to Free Markets, Individual Liberties, and Equal Protection Under the Law. It's time that those Americans who are ready that the Constitution finally be truly respected and applied to all people equally have a voice in Washington. Today, I am announcing my campaign for President of the United States of America"

"The road ahead is hard. And if history is any indication, there will be days when it seems impossible. But together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. And together, we'll all work to build a better, freer, more just, and more decent America. God Bless you all and God Bless the United States of America!"

Scott opens up in his home state: the early state of South Carolina. He has made his pitch clear, grassroots conservatives and political libertarians are his ideological base. However, he has put a major appeal to voters of color in the way of his vociferous stands for immigration reform and against systemic racism. Only time will tell if his grand coalition will materialize.

Location: Charleston, South Carolina

Message: The GOP needs to evolve and the country needs change. Tim Scott is the man for that conservative change.

Base: Grassroots Conservatives and Political Libertarians + Voters of Color

[Ron DeSantis hosts a rally in Jacksonville Florida to announce his candidacy]

"The last four years have been a disaster. We've seen honest, working-class Americans lose good-paying jobs as Biden shipped them overseas and bent over for China. Other countries are laughing at us while the President falls asleep at his desk! A few years ago we watched as China Joe and the blue states happily shut down your businesses, took away your job, and bribed you to stay at home and slap a mask on your child. And they would happily do it again if another crisis happens again. Unless it happens at the border.

Florida has led the way when it comes to protecting your freedom and the Constitution. It's time for new leadership in the White House, not one who promises the world and delivers nothing, but a leader who listens to the hard-working men and women in this country and gives a helping hand to small business owners, instead of shutting them down and letting looters get away with ransacking your property.

We need to go back to the way things were under the great President Donald Trump, who lives in the great, free state of Florida by the way, and Make America Win Again!"

Location: Jacksonville, FL

Message: The Biden Presidency was a disaster. America First. Make America Win Again.

Base: MAGA-crowd, anti-socialist Latinos and the working-class

[Tom Cotton holds a rally in Dardanelle, Arkansas to announce his candidacy]

"Today I've invited you to join me here, where my journey started. I was fortunate enough to live the American dream in it's utmost existence and that's why I am committed to serve the people. The people who run our country aren't the politicians of Washington. The people actually running our country are the folks in nursing homes, factories, the agricultural sector and many many more important cornerstones of the great American destiny. Only if we put our hands together we can achieve our common goals. I want to be the President for all of you. 

What we have seen during the last four years isn't certainly what I am envisioning for you all and it certainly isn't what your are deserving. We need to make sure America is leading the world again, because otherwise you won't get what you are deserving. We are now way worse off than we have been four years ago. At home and internationally we are facing huge challenges which are a direct result of the mishandling of the current administration. Together we are able to overcome these difficulties and I am promising you I will never let you down."

Location: Dardanelle, AR

Message: The Biden Presidency has destroyed the successful fundaments of our country, it's time to elect a real leader.

Base: Conservatives, whether they are moderate or traditionalist, we need to come together.

(Amy Klobuchar holds a rally in Duluth, Minnesota to announce her candidacy)

Senator Klobuchar announces her candidacy to her home crowd, giving a passionate speech in defense of the last four years of the Biden administration and how she will be able to keep the country on the right track. She hits several notes, including health care, the economy, and education about how a common sense moderate like her from Minnesota could fix the country's problems. Klobuchar claims she has the tenacity and grit to win a Democratic primary and defeat whatever candidate the Republicans put up against her. She says she has a history of winning big in a rust belt state like Minnesota, and she will carry that to the national stage.

Location: Duluth, Minnesota

Message: Most electable Democrat, pro-Biden
