Miami Mayor Francis Suarez Joins Crowded GOP Presidential Race for 2024.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination, becoming the only Hispanic candidate in the race. He joins a crowded field that includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Despite the double-digit candidate field, the race is largely seen as a two-person contest between Trump and DeSantis. Suarez has gained national attention for his efforts to turn Miami into a crypto hub and the next Silicon Valley.
