The '24 GOP Ticket
Donald Trump & J.D. Vance Are Chosen…
Disclaimer: Our editor-in-chief, Ben Everidge, is an independent candidate for the United States Senate from Florida and has qualified to be on the November 5th general election ballot.
The next-generation protector for the Make America Great Again crowd has been anointed with Donald J. Trump’s selection of 39-year-old freshman U.S. Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate.
With a little more than 100 days to go in the 2024 presidential election season and a stunning assassination attempt behind him, the former and possible future President of the United States is looking formidable entering the post-convention phase of his campaign.
While current president Joe Biden is struggling to hold onto his nomination for another term in the White House, which threatens to pull down-ballot candidates into their own losses, the Republican Party leaves Milwaukee tonight unified, energized, and more determined than ever to beat the 46th president.
The Democrats, who hold their convention in Chicago starting August 19th after the Paris Olympics, are fractured, discouraged, and depressed by their November prospects, which are spiraling downward because of the President’s poor televised June debate performance in Atlanta against Trump and a series of missteps since that makes the 81-year-old president look physically feeble in comparison to his 78-year-old competitor.
Even if Democrats replace Biden with his Vice President, Kamala Harris (59), this election looks like the Vice President cannot win either. Suppose the Democrats replace Biden before or during the convention but do not select Harris as Biden’s replacement. In that case, the party will likely not survive the resulting political revolt, short of maybe nominating Michelle Obama, as has been rumored occasionally but also seems far-fetched.
