Candidate named Literally Anybody Else running for president
Newsy
A Texas man legally changed his name as he hopes to attract disgruntled voters to his presidential campaign.
A candidate by the name of Literally Anybody Else filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president this fall.
The paperwork was filed by the Committee to Elect Literally Anybody Else for President, which is based out of Texas. It turns out that is literally someone's name.
According to WFAA-TV, a man in Texas legally had his name changed to Literally Anybody Else to run for president. The man is a math teacher and Army veteran who must have a keen eye on political polling.
In January, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 67% of respondents said they were tired of seeing the same names on the presidential ballot. The 2024 presidential election is expected to be a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, as the two are their parties' presumptive nominees.
The poll also found that 18% of respondents simply won't vote in the 2024 election if President Biden and Trump are the only two choices.
