So we enter our election in 2024 with two aged candidates that are very unpopular. Many people think both men are too old for the demanding job. And Trump faces four criminal trials.
Many people would like to turn the page and have younger candidates. But it is very hard to unseat an incumbent, and Trump running for a second term is like an incumbent.
A younger candidate would likely win in the general election. But they cannot beat the incumbent in the primary.
In December 2023 the polls show that Trump is ahead. And it is certainly possible that he will convicted in one or more of his trials, so we face the prospect of a convicted criminal as our President.
Biden will not get out of the race because he thinks he has the best chance to beat Trump. And Trump wants to win so that he can dismiss the Federal cases against him, or pardon himself if he is convicted before he is elected.
Is this a great country, or what?
