JILL STEIN CAMPAIGN Physician Jill Stein, Green Party presidential candidate 2024

As of Aug. 8, who is on the November 2024 ballot for president of the United States? Here are the candidates still in the race, and a brief summary of some of their major campaign positions.

Democrats

Current Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, for President

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, 60, for Vice President

Campaign positions

• “We must restore the protections of Roe. What the United States Supreme Court took away, Congress can put back in place.”
• “Whereas the last administration gave tax cuts to billionaires, we gave tax cuts to families through the child tax credit, which cut child poverty in America by half.”
• As Harris makes more public appearances as a presidential candidate in her own right, not just as Joe Biden’s vice president and running mate, she will outline more policies and themes that she will run on for the remainder of 2024.
