The 2024 Presidential race

Suarez earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law in 2004. He served as a Miami city commissioner for eight years before being elected Mayor in 2017 with 86% of the vote. He was re-elected in 2021 with 78% of the vote. His chance of winning the Republican nomination for President is.....oh, let's say 0.00001%.

Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020 and hopes to win again in 2024. Today he held a rally at the Pennsylvania Convention Center attended by members of the AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Teachers, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees and other powerful unions, all of whom have officially endorsed Biden's bid for re-election.

Donald Trump was found guilty of sexual assault, he was indicted on 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records related to his hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, he was indicted on 37 criminal counts over his mishandling of top-secret, classified documents and he may be indicted for inciting a deadly riot and for attempting to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia – and, with very few exceptions, Retrumplicans refuse to condemn him or even criticize him. Instead they criticize President Biden, Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Fani Willis, Adam Schiff, Hilary Clinton, the FBI and the Department of Justice. Retrumplicans have sold their souls to Donald Trump and they continue to protect him and defend him at all costs.

Twenty-three percent of Republican voters now say they will not support Donald Trump as their party's Presidential nominee. If Trump is hit with more indictments, and if he is convicted on some of the charges, and if he is sentenced to prison, that percentage will likely rise – but probably not by much.

Despite two impeachments, dozens of criminal charges, thousands of lies, hundreds of lawsuits, dozens of broken promises, tax fraud, business fraud, a sexual assault conviction, the incitement of a deadly riot, hush-money payments to a porn star and continued false claims of a rigged and stolen election, Trump is still the preferred choice of Retrumplicans in 2024.

How many voters who believe Joe Biden is too old to serve a second term as President realize that Donald Trump is only three and a half years younger?

Biden's age is stumbling block to reelection
The Hill, Jul 2 2023 5:25 PM

Worries from voters that President Biden is too old to serve another four-year term are increasingly looking like the biggest challenge the President faces in winning reelection next year. Biden, 80, is already the oldest person to serve as President and he would be 86 at the end of his second term. In a recent NBC News poll, 68% of voters said they worry about Biden’s health with 55% reflecting "major" concerns. Biden has some work to do to convince voters he has the mental and physical capacity to run for reelection.

While running for President in 2016, Donald Trump promised to lower drug prices, build a border wall (and make Mexico pay for it), repeal the Affordable Care Act, give huge tax cuts to the middle class, revive the coal industry and prevent manufacturers from moving overseas. He broke every one of these promises – but making false promises helped Trump get elected in 2016 and he's hoping another round of false promises will help him get elected in 2024.

While running for President in 2016, Trump insisted he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose any voters. In 2024, he hasn't lost many voters – even after being impeached twice, being indicted on 68 counts, being convicted of sexual assault, and inciting a deadly riot.

Nine states urged to block Donald Trump from 2024 run
Newsweek, Jul 13 2023 4:21 AM EDT

Advocacy groups Free Speech For People and Mi Familia Vota Education Fund groups have written letters to Secretaries of State and election officials in California, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Pennsylvania demanding that they "carry out their responsibility" by barring Donald Trump from being on next year's Presidential ballot for violating the 14th Amendment due to his actions on January 6, 2021. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, introduced in the wake of the Civil War, states that a person who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" after taking a Congressional oath should be prevented from running for office again.

Irving Zavaleta, Mi Familia Vota national programs manager, said: "Secretaries of State and state election officials are well within their authority to bar Donald Trump from the ballot. We all know Trump incited an insurrection to stop the certification of the 2020 election."

New poll shows Trump losing big to Biden, even with third-party spoiler
Mediaite, Jul 20th, 2023 2:00 PM

A new Monmouth University poll suggests that former President Donald Trump would be easily dispatched by President Joe Biden in a 2024 rematch of the 2020 Presidential election, even if West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin were to mount a third-party bid that most analysts believe would hamper the Biden campaign.

In the national survey of 910 voters, 47% said they would definitely or probably support Biden, while just 40% said they would back Trump. Remarkably, a potential unity ticket comprised of Manchin and former Utah Republican Governor Jon Huntsman would barely eat into Biden’s lead, as he would still boast a 40%-34% advantage over Trump. Sixty-three percent professed to have an unfavorable view of Trump and half of voters said they would "definitely" not support Trump in 2024.

Donald Trump has been hit with four indictments and 91 criminal charges – and 74% of Retrumplicans would still vote for him for President in 2024 if he is the GOP nominee. Among all Americans, 53% would "definitely not" support Trump and another 11% would "probably not" support him. Eighty-two percent of Democrats would vote for Biden.

Despite four indictments and 91 criminal charges, Donald Trump continues to be the Retrumplican front-runner for the 2024 Presidential nomination. Thirteen other Retrumplicans are running – and they refuse to say anything negative about Trump. Instead they attack Joe Biden, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, Merrick Garland and what they call the "weaponization" of the Justice Department. As FiveThirtyEight elections analyst Geoffrey Skelley writes, "Winning the GOP primary will require attracting support from a mostly pro-Trump party without alienating Trump-supporting voters by criticizing Trump."

There is a huge difference between "considering" and "definitely voting for." Trump will be the GOP nominee unless he drops out of the race – and that is something he says he will never do.
