US 2024 Election Drama: The What-If Scenarios and Potential Contenders

By -

In the fast-paced world of American politics, speculations about the 2024 presidential election have reached a fever pitch, especially considering the advanced ages of the potential candidates. What if the 81-year-old Joe Biden or the 77-year-old four-times indicted Donald Trump decides to step aside? A recent Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll sheds light on the intriguing alternatives and preferences on both sides of the aisle.

Democrats seem to rally around the idea of a new era, with suggestions that Vice President Kamala Harris or former first lady Michelle Obama could step up to the plate. Meanwhile, Republicans are eyeing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as their preferred nominee. However, the poll reveals a lack of a charismatic savior figure to excite the electorate, as both Biden and Trump face low favorability ratings.

Things take an interesting turn when independent voters are considered. Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor, emerges as a favored Republican nominee among independents, while Michelle Obama, despite expressing no interest in running, surprisingly surpasses Kamala Harris in popularity, securing 16 percent of the vote.

Lesser-known figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg find themselves lower down the Democratic preference list, while former Fox News host Tucker Carlson only manages to garner four percent support among Republicans.

The poll underscores a preference for establishment figures over bold newcomers, signaling a desire for stability rather than a revolutionary shake-up within the parties.

The age and condition of the current candidates add urgency to the question. Biden, the oldest president in history, shows signs of slowing down, while Trump faces legal challenges that could impact his eligibility. A glimpse into voters' sentiments about the candidates' plans for a second term reveals uninspiring descriptors – 'revenge' for Trump and 'nothing' for Biden.

Julian Gallie, a research associate at J.L. Partners, comments on the lack of an obvious successor within the Democratic base, noting the inclination toward past establishment figures like Clinton and Obama. The future trajectory, he suggests, remains uncertain until a natural successor emerges.

As the Republican base and independents remain divided over the future of the GOP, the poll indicates strong support for DeSantis among Republicans, while independents favor Haley. Despite her ability to attract independent voters, Haley struggles to secure the post-Trump GOP base.

Looking ahead, the Republican race is expected to gain clarity in January, with Iowa and New Hampshire voters selecting their preferred candidates. Trump maintains a significant lead, although Haley has seen a recent surge in momentum. In a hypothetical 2024 matchup, Trump holds a four-point lead over Biden, winning over independent voters while Biden experiences a decline in support within his own party and among women.

The upcoming months promise to be eventful as the political landscape evolves, and contenders solidify their positions. The 2024 election remains a captivating spectacle, rife with uncertainty and potential twists.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
