Swing State Politics in 2024
By Edward Kennelly
After the fourth Republican Presidential debate with only five Republican Presidential candidates competing for the nomination, the 2024 Presidential election cycle is in full swing. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is doing well in the debates and former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have loyal supporters. Both DeSantis and Ramaswamy are strong supporters of Israel. They also believe that the U.S. should end military aid to Ukraine. While Ramaswamy, Haley, and DeSantis are popular, they will likely not be able to defeat former Republican president Donald Trump. Many Republicans believe that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that Trump deserves a second term. Republicans credit Trump for the record low unemployment rates and low gas prices before the spread of COVID-19.
On the other side of the aisle, many Democrats support Biden because of how he handles the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war. Additionally, many Democrats support Biden simply because he is not Trump.
The country has become increasingly divided since 2000. Republican presidential nominees are able to win most southern states while Democratic presidential nominees win most Northern states. It is likely that the 2024 presidential election will be as close as 2000 and 2020.
