2024 US Presidential Election

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I think his nomination could be torpedoed by a conviction.  I also think it's too far out to prognosticate.

I also think that the overturning of Roe v Wade will drive female and youth turnout. Hopefully the voting polity will see that not only a President but a Senate vote matters.

I agree the Trump is a poor fit for the general election. He's got a high floor but a low ceiling.

I'm also hoping that paying into Social Security with no guarantee of payback will turn enough young voters to the D side, if they weren't already. The chump and Moscow Mitch have been waving deleting "entitlements" around like crazy. Well, were. Election of another R is going to bring that rhetoric to front burner again, more so than what the Bastard of Bakersfield® (McCarthy) is trying for.

A possible harbinger of how young voters may break in 2024: in the recent Ohio vote, 98% of Republican voters ages 18-30 voted ‘no’ on the attempt - by Republicans - to make it virtually impossible for voters to amend the state constitution. While it’s clearly risky to make predictions based on a single issue vote, it may indicate that even young Republicans aren’t buying into the Trumpist power grab plans.

Also, it’s clear as can be that Republicans know they have a serious problem with younger voters. If they didn’t, they would be making all this noise about raising the voting age.
