  • With less than a year to go before the next presidential election on November 5, 2024, candidates are already jostling for their party’s nomination.
    The Democrat and Republican primaries begin in January, with the Republican caucus in Iowa on January 15.
    There, voters will decide whether to support Donald Trump - by far the party’s frontrunner - or choose an alternative in Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, or a smattering of other candidates.
    The beginning of the primary process is important because it sets the tone for the rest of the election, and indicates which campaigns have the most momentum and support for voters.
    After Iowa, Republicans will vote in New Hampshire and South Carolina, followed by a series of other states and more than a dozen on “Super Tuesday”, on March 5.
    Mr Trump has a significant poll lead of more than 25 points over Mr DeSantis, who is in second place.
    Despite concerns about his age, Joe Biden remains the most likely Democratic nominee, with no serious challengers to his candidacy for 2024.
    The president, 81, has poor national approval ratings but is widely expected to be chosen again as the nominee.
    The primary process will conclude next summer at the Republican and Democratic conventions, in Milwaukee and Chicago, respectively. From there, the two parties will launch their general election campaigns.

    Missing from this analysis is the most crucial part: how the candidates get on the primary stage to begin with. This is where we lose control as a citizenry to curate our choices. Only private interests get to control this and thus our entire process is dead at the roots in terms of effective democracy.

    I feel we should have the 1st 4 state Caucuses & Primaries (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, & Nevada) all at once instead of 1 at a time, & we need to reduce the amount of time the Primaries take to 4 to 6 months since we don't need a full year to campaign for nominees like we did prior to the age of the internet.

      @@gs99_: The 1st primary debates begin in the fall the year before the Presidential Election, the 1st 4 states have their primary votes around January, the last states have their primary votes around May, the political party conventions are in the summer, there are 3 to 5 presidential candidate debates in the fall, & the election is in November. That whole process takes over a year when it could be reduced to half that length of time.

His achievements are overshadowed by the divisive culture he breeds. RFK is a real solution to that.

    "America first" is one of the most stupid expressions ever coined by Trump. I guess someone running for president of the USA isn't gonna put Zimbabwe or Australia first! 🤣😅
