2024 US Elections: Why Trump’s Victory Isn’t a Sure Bet

Joe Biden’s Withdrawal and Kamala Harris’ Rise

The unexpected withdrawal of Joe Biden from the presidential race has significantly altered the dynamics of the American elections.
Kamala Harris’s emergence as the Democratic candidate has reshaped the political landscape.
Just a short while ago, Donald Trump seemed almost assured of reclaiming the White House, but he now finds himself grappling with this new political reality, forced to adapt.

While the recent attack on Trump sparked a wave of sympathy and indirect support for him, it appears insufficient to assure a victory over Harris.
This turn of events has cultivated a sense of uncertainty and curiosity about what the upcoming weeks and months will hold as the electoral campaign intensifies.

Challenges Within the Democratic Camp

Nonetheless, the Democratic side faces its own set of challenges.
The Palestinian issue remains a divisive topic, stirring discord within public opinion and heightening tensions in the party.
Additionally, the controversies surrounding Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, continue to cast shadows over the Biden family.

Furthermore, the identity and political positioning of Kamala Harris’s running mate remain subjects of debates, contributing to an atmosphere of ambiguity.
This adds another layer of complexity to an already intricate political landscape.
