New 2024 US Presidential hopefuls emerge as young voters distrust Trump, Biden #IndiaNEWS #International ,Politics,Top Story
By Ashok NilakantanNew York, July 24 (IANS) Speculation is rife in the US media about the presidential hopefuls for the 2024 run as polls suggest that young voters, who constitute a bulk of both the ethnic and White electorate, prefer to have a fresh face in the White House and are done with both Donald Trump and Joe Biden after revelations in the Jan 6 hearings and Democrats handling of the countrys economy with high inflation and unemployment.
Even as both Trump and Biden have suggested they will seek re-election in 2024, both Democrats and the Republicans are faced with a Hobsons choice. Republicans feel Trump announcing his candidacy before fall and before the Jan 6 panels report on the Capitol Hills insurrection could divert attention from the campaign they have been building against Bidens inept governance in tackling the nations economic problems such as inflation, unemployment, soaring gas prices and raw materials shortage and the danger of the country sinking into recession soon.
Republicans feel 20 million prime time TV viewers watching the proceedings of the Congressional committee on Jan 6 insurrection has done enough damage, rattling the traditional and practical-minded funders of candidates for the November 8 elections and the subsequent 2024 presidential run. Public opinion rejects both Trump and Biden as being too old to be in sync with the nations current problems.
Both Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom have started lobbying with Democrat donors that they would throw their hats in the ring if Biden chooses not to contest. Floridas Republican Governor Rino De Santis and Trumps former Vice President Mike Pence are the Republican hopefuls.
Pence may seek revenge on Trump for calling him a wimp and endorsing Oath Keepers and Proud Boys call to Hang Pence for not falling in line with Trumps call not to certify the election process of 2020 that declared Biden as President.
De Santis is a popular figure among Republican voters and he is already racing up in the Gallup polls with a 44 per cent rating, close to Trumps 51 per cent. But GOP donors decision not to back Trump might change the equation, upping the Santis ratings further as the 2nd strongman in the party to correct Americas fractured economy and cultural ethos.
On the other hand, both Newsom and Harris will inherit Bidens legacy of an inept administration that failed to solve the countrys economic problems unless the Jan 6 panels possible indictment of Trump for his alleged involvement in the Capitol Hills insurrection sticks strongly in the minds of Americans.
The events are unfolding now before the November 8 elections to all of the 435 seats of the House of Representatives, wherein Democrats have a wafer-thin majority and Trump hopes to retake it to dissolve the Jan 6 panel, whose findings have dented his image.
