Field of GOP underdogs keeps expanding with Suarez's presidential bid -
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has thrown his hat into the ring in a choreographed video announcement that featured video footage of him running around his hometown and sharing insights into a positive vision he hopes will capture the imagination of Republican primary voters.
“My dad taught me that you get to choose your battles and I am choosing the biggest one of my life: I am going to run for president. I am going to run for your children and mine.” Mr. Suarez, 45, is the president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He joins a list of underdog contenders trying to gain ground on the other Floridians in the race: Mr. Trump and the ex-president’s close rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Still, the two-term mayor is betting voters are looking for a fresh face and a new generation of leadership. He says he can help grow the party — in large part by courting Hispanic voters that have soured on Democrats and offering voters something new.“When you look at the world, it is getting younger, in terms of leadership,” he said. “I think that’s an important dynamic, and I have to sell that vision.
