The 2024 presidential election continues to draw closer and is now only four months away from occurring. Regardless, major news outlets on all sides of the political spectrum are focused on promoting the upcoming election. The incumbent president, Joe Biden is currently in a beleaguered state politically thinking disapproved of by a majority of citizens in recent polls.
Biden possesses the delegates to be the Democratic nominee as the national convention nears closer, despite facing increased calls from Democrats to step down after a disastrous debate performance. Robert F. Kennedy had attempted to primary Biden within the Democratic party. Unfortunately for him, the voting base of the Democratic party has become staunchly progressive, affluent, and radical. In truth, the party is simply the big tent of people who want a huge government to have total control and favor increased federal authority at the expense of individual states and citizens. The progressive base, which defended Biden for years despite worthy cognitive and competency criticisms, appears now to be souring on the president. He has recently come under fire for being “too moderate” in terms of his immigration position as progressives push for open borders.
Luckily for Biden, his opponent, Donald Trump, is equally as unpopular among crucial independent voters. Trump has long alleged corruption in the American system and continues to state that the 2020 election was rigged. Supporters of Trump breathed a sigh of relief in Georgia recently after a court ruled that their attempts to question the validity of thousands of voters before the 2021 Senate runoffs did not violate the voting rights act. The issue of election integrity is likely to remain a major focus in the upcoming contest. Recently, one conservative state governor, Brad Little of Idaho, recently announced he would pass an executive order that would strengthen voter registration requirements as the state moves towards election day in November. The election will be closely, hotly contested.
