EDITORIAL: The Next U.S. President
The 2024 presidential election deserves the unusual amount of early attention currently lavished upon it. First, will the voting or election frraud determine the outcome? The apparent obscuring of evidence and opposition to investigations are not reassuring. The legal attacks upon Trump for his questioning of the process underline the questionability of the present process. That becomes a double underline as succeeding courts refuse to clear the air.
A current view of prominent candidates is as interesting: Present Biden is increasingly presentd as both blatantly corrupt and firmly committed to the contest. Donald Trump is vehement about another try and so is President Biden, both of whom seem to be losing support from party officials. To date though, no one else has caught fire with the public or visibly at least, with their parties’ kingmakers. The public appears to expect a Biden-Trump rematch and polls favor the latter at the moment. But But Biden seems senile and Trump is not bullet proof.
Strategy is interesting as well: The economy faces collapse; will that make whoever wins office into the next Herbert Hoover? It seems doubtful that either party wants to be visibly in charge when the next historic slump arrives but neither do any of them want to let go of the levers of power. The movers and shakers in Washington D.C. Face mostly unpleasant choices
