Palmer entered the race in November 2023.
According to his campaign website, he admits he has a "very little chance of winning," but he wants his campaign to emphasize new "ideas, solutions and changing the conversation."
He has also loaned himself $500,000 for his campaign.
"You can’t take the money with you when you die," he said. "But you can change the world while you're here."
