Voters now have 14 different options to choose from as Democrat and Republican candidates pile into the 2024 presidential race. In a head-to-head matchup between front-runners President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, Trump is up by two points, according to the most recent Real Clear Politics average. The same site found that Biden leads Democrat candidates by 46 points and Trump leads Republican contenders by 31 points.
Currently, there are 11 Republican presidential candidates and three Democrat candidates.
"I am looking for a moderate," said "Susan," a New York resident, "a moderate Democrat or a moderate Republican."
Susan said she is an independent and does not vote along party lines, but if it came down to a race between Trump and Biden, she would "probably vote Biden."
