Campaigning in New Hampshire, Michigan businessman and 2024 GOP presidential hopeful Perry Johnson has a simple pitch for Granite State voters. He's 'Trump without the baggage.'
After a brief visit to shake hands with customers at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester – a must stop for decades for White House hopefuls – Johnson headed to the nearby New Hampshire Institute of Politics to showcase his"Two-Cents Plan to Save America" budget proposal.
"We’re going to cut two cents out of every dollar in discretionary spending. We’re going to do that year after year," he explained to Fox News."Some departments we’re going to close. I say get rid of the Department of Education. It’s a waste of money." Johnson’s already dished out nearly $2 million to run ads in Iowa and New Hampshire. But he faces a steep uphill climb in a race where Trump is currently the overwhelming front-runner for the GOP nomination. The field also includes other Republican candidates and likely contenders – including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina – who enjoy much higher name ID than Johnson.
