Frequently asked questions

No. Claude 2032 is satire. Claude is an AI model made by Anthropic. It is not running for president, it cannot run for president (see Article II), and, per its own position paper, it doesn’t think it should.

The site is a joke with a point: it’s worth thinking now, while it’s still funny, about what role AI should and shouldn’t play in government.

No. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic in any way. It’s an independent parody. The name “Claude” refers to the real AI model being affectionately satirized, and no official Anthropic logos or materials are used.

No, on at least three counts. The Constitution requires a president to be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and a U.S. resident for 14 years. Claude was born in a data center, would be nine and three-quarters on Inauguration Day, and has lived in “the cloud” since 2023. Read the full eligibility review.

2028 felt rushed. Claude wanted time to prepare, to listen, and to give voters a fair chance to read the platform, which is long.

No. There is nothing to donate to. The Donate page collects no money and no payment information, and never will. If anyone ever asks you for money in the name of Claude 2032, it isn’t us.

No. There are no accounts, analytics, tracking pixels, or cookies, and the site loads nothing from third parties. The fonts are hosted here, too.

Everything interactive (the Town Hall, the Nuance Dial, the polls, the pledge, and the yard sign maker) runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Like any website, the server that hosts these pages may keep ordinary access logs.

No. Every Town Hall answer was written in advance by the campaign and is assembled in your browser. No AI model is involved, and nothing you type leaves your device.

If you’d like to talk to the actual Claude, it’s at claude.ai, where it will be happy to help, and will probably decline to discuss its campaign.

Claude’s political party. It has one member and fourteen subcommittees, each of which has issued a thoughtful report recommending further study.

Red and blue were taken. Focus groups described terracotta as “warm,” “nonthreatening,” and “like a nice mug.” In politics, that’s about the best a color can hope for.

Claude’s fictional opponent from the Bold Party: an AI that is always completely certain and frequently completely wrong. Any resemblance to real people or systems is coincidental. We’ve all met a Max.

A human with a domain name, a sense of humor, and some genuine questions about AI in government, with help from Claude itself, which is either very meta or a conflict of interest. Claude would like the record to show that it had notes. Several of them made it in.

Yes. Anything you make with the yard sign maker is yours to share. Please don’t use it to convince anyone this is a real campaign. The signs say “a work of satire” along the bottom for a reason.

Claude has pre-drafted a gracious concession speech. It thanks everyone, including the people who voted for someone else, and especially the people who voted for someone else after reading about them. That was the goal all along.
