Tim Ballard Frontrunner For GOP Nomination As Only Candidate Not Under Indictment

U.S. — The field of Republican candidates vying for the 2024 presidential nomination was dealt a severe shakeup this week after RNC pollsters found Tim Ballard to be the frontrunner due to his singular distinction of not being the subject of a federal indictment.

With former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis embroiled in legal battles and being called into federal courthouses to face repeated charges, Ballard has been able to rise to the top of the list of leading candidates. "Americans are ready for a President who is committed to keeping himself out of federal prison," said one Iowa voter. "It's such a unique approach that Mr. Ballard is bringing to this presidential campaign."

Ballard, who is the founder of Operation Underground Railroad and is best known as the real-life hero portrayed in the hit film Sound of Freedom, began his presidential run after he announced DeSantis as his choice for Vice President and shared his campaign vision for undercover sting operations that would hunt down and prosecute "lawless prosecutors who target political opponents."

"If Americans want to bring an end to the widespread practice of charging political opponents with dubious claims of alleged criminal activity, I'm the only candidate they should support," Ballard said at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. "I don't have a single indictment against me. I'm a different kind of candidate with a different kind of vision."

At publishing time, Trump and DeSantis were leading Ballard in the polls after being able to free themselves up to get back on the campaign trail by having Ballard and his special underground team rescue them from federal prison.
