UPI – A man in the United States (US) legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else to run for president.
Formerly known as Dustin Ebey, the 35-year-old military veteran and middle school math teacher is protesting the current major-party candidates, President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump.
He hopes to draw attention to his dissatisfaction with a system that, as stated on his website, “often prioritises partisan battles over real solutions”.
Else is running a write-in campaign in Texas, US, where did he did not get the required 113,000 signatures to make it onto the ballot, and is expected to appear by name on the
Tennessee ballot, where he said he did get the required amount of signatures.
“It’s not necessarily about drawing attention to my grievances,” Else told the media, “but about giving a place for anyone who shares these grievances to come together to a focal point”.
Else announced Neal David Sutz, a New York man currently living in Switzerland, will be his running mate.
