Divide between republicans
Mike Pence, who served as vice president under Donald Trump, dropped a bombshell by announcing he won’t be backing Trump for the 2024 U.S. presidential race. Pence, who gave up his own shot at the presidency due to low poll numbers, spilled the beans during a chat with Fox News. He said, “ It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year.” This move exposes a crack in their once-solid political bond, stemming from Pence’s public disagreement with Trump’s actions during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The chilling chants of “Hang Mike Pence” by some Trump supporters during the riot likely further strained their relationship. Pence’s decision not to support Trump gives us a glimpse of the deep divide within the Republican Party and adds another layer of complexity to the upcoming election.
Election Updates
Let us take note that both major candidates have current legal troubles. Trump still faces a case involving classified documents in Florida. Biden also has problems with classified info and his alleged mental competence due to his age needs to be clarified as the two major candidates disillusioned more and more people.
Let’s also remember the age issue, which keeps popping up for both candidates. Trump, currently 77 years old, loves to poke fun at Biden’s occasional stutter, while Biden, currently 81 years old, tries hard to show he’s still got it. With the election drawing closer, swing states like Georgia are in the spotlight, as both candidates know winning them could make all the difference.
The significance of Georgia in determining the election outcome has become increasingly apparent, with both candidates recognizing its vital role in securing victory. Biden aims to build on the momentum generated by his successful State of the Union address, where he outlined his plans for job creation, healthcare, and global leadership. Meanwhile, Trump continues to emphasize immigration as a central campaign issue, resonating with many voters despite facing criticism.
The 2024 U.S. election is shaping up to be a fierce battle between Biden and Trump, each trying to sell their vision for America’s future. The outcome depends on many factors, including foreign and international policies and how well the candidates connect with voters. As the campaign heats up, America braces for the decision of the masses. This election will show the world if America is finally tired of its two-party system or if one of the two major candidates will win again.
