00:00 Today I am here to announce my intention to seek the Republican nomination for President
00:04 of the United States.
00:06 My name is Harsh Singh, a lifelong Republican and an America-first, constitutional carry,
00:12 and pro-life conservative who helped restore the conservative wing of New Jersey's Republican
00:17 Party starting in 2017.
00:20 Harsh Vytham Singh, an Indian-American engineer, has announced his bid for the White House
00:26 becoming the third person of Indian descent after Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy to join
00:31 the crowded Republican field of candidates vying to become US President in 2024.
00:38 Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Singh posted a video and said he is a lifelong Republican
00:45 and America-first conservative who worked to restore a conservative wing of the New
00:50 Jersey Republican Party.
00:52 In a three-minute video posted on X, Singh said that America needs strong leadership
00:57 to reverse the changes that have occurred in the past few years and to restore American
01:02 values.
01:03 He thereby pitched himself as the candidate who is capable of making those changes.
01:08 Harsh Vytham Singh was born in Atlantic City and his parents immigrated from India.
01:12 He assisted his father in running their family firm, which specialized in missile defense,
01:17 satellite navigation, and aviation security, after earning an undergraduate degree in engineering
01:22 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2009.
01:26 The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics presented Singh with the Aviation
01:31 Ambassador Award in 2003.
01:33 He was an aeronautical engineer.
01:35 Singh joined New Jersey politics in 2017 as a governor candidate, receiving a $1 million
01:41 donation from his father.
01:43 As per The Hill, he received just 9.9% of the vote, placing third in the election.
01:49 Following that, he ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate and Congress in 2018, U.S. Senate
01:54 in 2020, and governor in 2021.
01:58 He became known for his unsuccessful campaigns and volatile personality.
02:02 Singh, along with former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and millennial entrepreneur Vivek
02:07 Ramaswamy, will contest against former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is leading the
02:12 race for the Republican Party's nomination for 2024, despite the legal challenges he
02:17 is facing.
02:19 Mr. Singh also called himself the only "pure-blood" candidate because he never gave in to the
02:24 COVID vaccinations.
02:26 In his most recent run for governor, he campaigned as a more conservative option, more closely
02:31 aligned with former President Trump than the eventual nominee, Jack Siathirani, but he
02:36 came in third for the nomination.
02:39 Mr. Singh is one of the several long-shot candidates in the race, including former Cranston,
02:43 Rhode Island Mayor Steve Laffey, Michigan businessman Perry Johnson, and Texas pastor
02:49 Ryan Binkley.
02:50 On Thursday, Harshvardhan Singh formally submitted his candidature to the Federal Election Commission.
