A year away from Election Day 2024, former President Donald Trump is set to testify in a civil fraud trial and separately faces more than 90 criminal charges, setting up the possibility that a convicted felon tops the Republican ticket next November.
But it’s President Joe Biden’s political prospects that are plunging.
In another extraordinary twist to a 2024 campaign season that is more notable for court hearings than treks through early voting states, Trump is expected to be called to the witness stand in New York on Monday. This is hardly typical activity during a post-presidency. But Trump was, after all, the most unconventional president.
The people running the dem party would rather repeat 2016 than give voters a choice.
Regardless of who wins in 2024, they’re going to loudly proclaim it means the party needs to move to the right.
This is what happens when both parties are beholden to the same donors. A loss isn’t really a lose to them like it is to us. The only way they lose is if a progressive without ties to those donors wins or makes enough noise that voters realize there’s no real reason why the Dem candidate can only be slightly better than a Republican in some areas.
ah yes it’s the dems fault nobody credible decided to run
It sort of was?
Bernie Sanders had a great chance to face Trump for the 2016 elections, and the democrat media had a horrible campaign against him while favoring Hillary Clinton. Then, once Hillary got the nomination, surprise!!! correspondence came to light in which those at the top in the party said that Sanders should absolutely NOT have the nomination.
I’m a liberal dude, but I’m also very cynical of the U.S. political system. At the very top, those assholes love a “good” status quo.
i like bernie but bernie couldn’t win outside of the coasts in a primary let alone a general.
hillary clinton had spent decades in the democratic party; bernie sanders hadn’t. of course hillary would have more delegates and history over sanders; doesn’t mean it was rigged or anything.
I understand it wasn’t rigged, but if Trump getting into power taught is anything is that the media played a major role to have her win the nomination. That’s my point.
Though come to think of it, maybe the Russians had their hand in it as well.
