Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, once a close Trump aide, and tech millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy have already announced their plans to run for president.

In his three-minute video, Singh described himself as a "lifelong Republican and America First conservative who worked to restore a conservative wing of the New Jersey Republican Party".

"We need strong leadership to reverse the changes that have occurred in the past few years and restore American values. That is why I have decided to seek the Republican Party's nomination for the 2024 election for the office of president of the United States," said Singh, described as "Trump on steroids" by rival Democrats.

The Indian-American engineer filed his candidacy officially with the Federal Election Commission on July 27.
