With the 2024 Election in sight, here we go again!

The upcoming US presidential election may feel like deja vu, but in many ways it will be unprecedented. What's in it for the rest of the world? 

The world's oldest democracy is navigating through unprecedented waters to the 2024 US presidential election campaign. I use the word "coverage" only to support a metaphor. "Sleeping" might be a more appropriate description. Seventeen months before American voters go to the polls to choose their leader for a four-year term in the White House starting January 20, 2025, the outcome is anyone's guess. Current polls show that voters are not crazy about how the race is going. But not only for the United States but also for the world. The Democratic Party generally favors a global foreign policy, with the United States playing an important role in international affairs, while the Republican Party tends to be more isolated. The current US President, Democrat Joe Biden, announced his candidacy for re-election late last month. At 80, Biden is the longest-serving US president. He will be 86 at the end of the second season. Unexpectedly, age is emerging as a major disadvantage for Biden. According to the event table, the life expectancy of 80-year-old American men is more than seven years. 

Will it be Biden versus Trump again? 

Donald Trump, whom Biden beat in 2020 despite Trump's continued opposition to him, announced late last year that he would seek another run. Trump is not a child. He was seventy-six years old. But he faces a bigger challenge than the age: He faces serious threats to behavior during his reign and before. A recent editorial cartoon titled "The 2024 Presidential Race" showed Trump in uniform running from the police. Although the polls clearly show that Biden's Democrats are not crazy about him coming for a second term, there is no serious opposition to his nomination. Trump has a few announced challengers for the GOP nod — former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and South Carolina State Sen. Tim Scott. Several others, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, are likely to challenge. But the conservative base of the Republican Party still supports Trump, and political forecasters see him as the favorite to win his party's nomination. 

Will American voters give a convicted felon President?

 Seventeen months is a lifetime in American politics. What we know now about the 2024 US presidential race could be overturned in an instant. A long list of countries and global events can be agents of change. 

Worst of all: How will Trump's staunchest supporters react if Trump faces prison time?

 He was charged in New York.Other, potentially more serious, charges are possible at the state of Georgia and at the federal level. Even before the New York indictment was filed, Trump suggested filing charges against him could lead to chaos. He wrote on his social media platform Truth Social: "What kind of person can accuse someone else, and this is the former President of the United States, who received more votes than any president in history history, and the leader (by far! ) for the election of the Republican Party, and crime, when everyone knows that no crime has been committed and knows that death and destruction can be caused by such false accusations can cause our country.

Other Political changes may include, but are not limited to, Russia's war with Ukraine, China's strategy with Taiwan, North Korea's efforts to become a nuclear power, and/or an increase in nuclear weapons. which is the Middle East. You have to go back to the 1960s, when the United States was causing racial unrest in many cities, the unpopular war in Vietnam and the fear of nuclear holocaust caused the conflict between America and the Soviet Union first to find something similar today.
