With the first presidential primaries less than a year away, the field of candidates is expected to grow in the coming months (The Hill, The Conversation). The question will be suspended on 30 May 2023 and the outcome determined using data as reported by Ballotpedia and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) (Ballotpedia, Federal Election Commission). The list of noteworthy candidates on Ballotpedia will be accessed for resolution at approximately 5:00PM ET on 31 May 2023. That list will be checked for registrations dated no later than 31 May 2023 as reported on 2 June 2023 by the FEC.
