Cenk Uygur, the founder of The Young Turks and a progressive commentator, announced his intent to run for the U.S. presidency against incumbent President Joe Biden despite not being eligible by law.
Uygur, an immigrant from Turkey, fervently believes that the “natural born citizen” clause in the U.S. Constitution will not stand in his way for the 2024 Democratic Party nomination, according to The Daily Wire.
During a conversation with Semafor, Uygur confidently predicted a “slam dunk” win if the debate over his eligibility reached the U.S. Supreme Court. “I’m tired of 25 million Americans having this albatross around their neck,” he passionately remarked, suggesting that the legal challenge was one of the motivations for his decision to run for president.
Uygur made a previous bid for political office in 2020, running for a U.S. House seat left open by former Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.). While eligibility for congressional positions differs from the presidency, Uygur’s current campaign has sparked significant debate.
