* '''Support''' - Exactly zero presidential candidates are running on opposition to same-sex marriage (though some, such as Joe Biden, opposed it earlier in their careers). No state is trying to ban it, and Congress just decisively voted it into federal law. A couple media articles fearmongering about something doesn't make it one of the top election issues. Additionally, abortion is the #1 issue for about 5% of voters and most of them voted for Trump in 2020 [https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/nr7yjreihl/econTabReport.pdf] (a reversal from the post-Dobbs trend of Democrats caring more about the issue). And "democratic backsliding" is just code for Democrats not winning every election; there is no evidence it will be a top issue for 2024. The section is mainly speculation and should be rewritten or removed (the article about the 2016 presidential election did not discuss potential campaign issues at this point in 2015 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_United_States_presidential_election&oldid=653525823]).

Larry Hogan has declared he might run for president as an independent
Moderate Republican and former Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan has told the media that he while he has ruled out running as a Republican in the presidential election, he might run as an independent but only if the election is a rematch between Trump and Biden. No Labels, a bi-partisan political organization that has Hogan as a national co-chair, has raised funds to allow an independent candidate to run in all 50 states. ABC News speculates that Hogan might be at least one of the choices for a independent candidate backed by No Labels. Please add Larry Hogan's name into the list of "Potential candidates" in the part of the page about "Independents, other third parties, or party unknown". Here are some sources for everything in this message https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/15/us/larry-hogan-no-labels.html https://www.boston25news.com/news/politics/ex-maryland-gov/H36AP7YMBPP2OIW6VUKCSRYVPA/ https://www.npr.org/2023/03/07/1161570053/larry-hogan-republican-party https://www.npr.org/2020/12/15/946819531/maryland-gov-larry-hogan-named-co-chair-of-bipartisan-group-no-labels https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/01/opinion/third-presidential-candidate-2024.html https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/larry-hogan-close-door-party-presidential-bid-2024/story?id=97691294.

- Regarding the last link you had; that was what I used when I made an edit placing Larry Hogan in the potential independent candidates section. I just saw Hogan was moved to the "declined" section; so there's a possibility someone else found another source that I haven't read yet where Hogan states that he was not a candidate.

Maybe you can put back Hogan into the "Potential candidates" list? If he has indeed declined, just add the source to the page and let that be done. Thanks. --109.76.97.207 (talk) 19:02, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

potential campaign issues - mental faculty and age
I really think someone should add a paragraph or two on this. A lot has been made of Biden's age and Trump's to a lesser extent, Nikki Haley calling for mental capacity tests for over 75's. There are definitely similarities to Reagan's re-election in 1984 in which age was a big campaign issue, the 1984 election Wikipedia page has a lengthy segment on it. 79.78.91.188 (talk) 21:32, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- This recent footage of Biden in a US factory can also be taken into account. --Mhhossein talk 07:10, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

"No state is trying to ban it"
That's not true. The Republican platform explicitly opposes same-sex marriage, Republican legislatives have passed/blocked measures surrounding it, and many have talked about their desire to repeal recongition of same-sex marriages. Presently, a majority of states have constitutions/legislation forbidding same-sex marriage. (Inactive due to Obergefell)"Congress just decisively voted it into federal law"
Predominately upon the votes of Democrats. Just 20% of Republicans supported the Respect for Marriage Act in the Senate.

'Hot mic' moment
A footage which went viral, led the viewers cast doubt over Biden's ability to be a president. Not sure if it can be used. --Mhhossein talk 07:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
