Vermin Supreme, known for boot hat, promising free ponies, launches 2024 presidential ambitions tour

Vermin Supreme, the former presidential candidate best known for wearing a boot on his head and promising a free pony to every American, launched his 2024 campaign website and is starting his tour Friday.

Supreme, who has run in the Republican, Democratic and Libertarian Party presidential primaries since 2004, is kicking off his "PresiDENTAL Ambitions Tour" this Friday with a fundraising event in Athens, Ohio, at the Cannabis Museum.

The tour name is a purposeful play on the word "presidential," as he is known for wearing a black rubber boot as a hat and carrying a large toothbrush. Supreme has previously pledged to make toothbrushing mandatory if elected president.

His tour will feature 10 more stops across Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York before concluding Oct. 9. 

He does not appear as a registered candidate for 2024 in Federal Election Commission records, and his campaign website's banner states: "Vermin Supreme 2024?" However, he is selling campaign merchandise and accepting donations online, and his website includes a "Free Pony Registry" form.

Pony Up for Vermin Supreme, the candidate's campaign committee, raised nearly $90,000 for the 2020 election.

After winning the Massachusetts Libertarian Party Presidential Primary in 2020, Supreme dropped out of the race for the White House and unsuccessfully ran as a write-in candidate for the state's 2020 U.S. Senate election.

In addition to promising free ponies for all Americans, his previous campaign platforms included mandatory tooth-brushing and time travel research to kill baby Adolf Hitler. 

Supreme has not responded to Just the News' request for comment.
