No one alive has seen a race like the 2024 presidential election. For months, if not years, many people have expected a reprise of the 2020 election drama, with a deeply divided nation and polarizing candidates. Both candidates are disliked by a majority of Americans, and 45% believe a Joe Biden-Donald Trump rematch is bad for the country. The political landscape is fraught with tension and uncertainty as voters in 16 states and one territory — American Samoa — are making their presidential preferences known. More than a third of delegates are up for grabs, making every vote crucial in determining the future of the nation.
US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump swept to victory in statewide nominating contests across the country on Tuesday, solidifying their positions as front-runners in the race. Despite their popularity among their respective bases, both candidates face significant challenges in winning over undecided voters and independents. The American electorate is deeply divided, with issues like healthcare, the economy, and national security driving a wedge between different factions.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's decision to suspend her 2024 presidential campaign has further added to the uncertainty surrounding the election. With one less contender in the race, the field is wide open for other potential candidates to step in and shake up the political landscape. Recent reports in the US media suggest that former US First Lady Michelle Obama may enter the 2024 presidential election, setting the stage for a potentially historic campaign.
