2024 presidential election: 10 candidates running third-party campaigns
10. Randall Terry
Randall Terry, the founder of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, is seeking the Constitution Party’s presidential nomination.
The candidate’s website cites the purpose of his presidential bid as to “make child killing by abortion the number one voter issue in America.” Terry is vowing to “show the horror of aborted children to the American people” by running commercials in the 60 days running up to the 2024 presidential election.
Noting that federal laws “clearly state there can be no censorship of federal candidates ads placed within 60 days of the election,” Terry predicted that “when enough Americans see abortion, Americans will end abortion!” Stressing that “we are mounting this campaign to show the truth about abortion and to encourage voters not to vote for Biden,” Terry suggested that the purpose of his campaign was not to actually win the election.
“We are not even asking for your vote. Over 50% of Catholics, 1/3 of Evangelicals, and 90 % of Blacks (many who say they are against abortion) voted for Biden in 2020. If a small percentage of them repent, it could cause Biden’s defeat. And it will put the plight of babies front and center in this election!” the campaign stated. The frequently-asked-questions section of the website insists that the campaign will not hurt Trump and instead tells voters “Do NOT vote for Biden.”
Terry said he needed 25,075 total signatures to get on the ballot in 10 states, which will enable him to run ads in all 50. He has selected Stephen Broden, the founder and senior pastor at Fair Park Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas, Texas, as his running mate. Broden is also the founder of the National Black Pro-Life Coalition.
