The 2024 Presidential race

[Rewind]

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.

Trump claims he won Nevada in 2016. No, he lost. Trump claims he won Nevada in 2020. No, he lost. If Trump loses Nevada in 2024, he will claim he won. That's a given.

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

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."

There are an estimated 162,000,000 registered voters in the United States. Only 910 took part in this poll. Keep that in mind.

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.

If we could abolish the Electoral College and elect the President by popular vote, just as we elect mayors, governors, senators, sheriffs, city council members, school board members and other officials, winning these eight states would not be so crucial for the Presidential candidates.

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."

Eight Republican Presidential candidates took part in a televised debate August 23 in Milwaukee After the debate, Ipsos asked viewers which candidates they are "considering voting for." 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.
