Claudia De la Cruz casts vote in 2024 presidential election
Teaneck, New Jersey - Socialist presidential candidate Claudia De la Cruz has officially cast her vote in the 2024 election!
De la Cruz, who is running for president with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, announced that she cast her ballot in Teaneck, New Jersey, on Election Day – presumably for herself.
In a video posted to social media, De la Cruz says, "So we just cast our vote against..."
"Genocide," her child answers, as both wear matching "I Voted Today" stickers.
"Against genocide, against war-mongering, against capitalism," De la Cruz continues.
"We voted for the safety of our planet, to end the dictatorship of the billionaires, to dismantle mass incarceration."
De la Cruz's running mate, Karina Garcia, voted in New York City on Sunday. The Vote Socialist campaign shared a photo of the VP candidate, who recently welcomed a new baby, giving a thumbs up outside a polling station while pushing a stroller and wearing an "Abolish ICE" beanie.
No matter the result of Tuesday's vote, De la Cruz says the socialist movement will continue organizing beyond the election. "Join us!" her child urges.
