Miami 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.
As mayor, Suarez has sought to bring a new era of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship to his city, including promoting industries such as cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. He has advocated making Miami the new Silicon Valley and even invited Elon Musk to move Twitter headquarters to the city. Suarez has also spoken about combating climate change – “It’s not theoretical for us in the city of Miami, it’s real,” he told CBS News last year.
