The 2024 U.S. Presidential Race: A Cheat Sheet

The 2024 presidential election is like no other we've ever seen. People have been expecting a rematch between the current president and a former president, just like in 2020.

But that hasn't stopped many candidates from entering the race. On the Republican side, there are more than a dozen candidates trying to become the party's nominee. Donald Trump is currently leading, but he's facing four separate felony charges, which is unheard of in presidential politics. Ron DeSantis is the closest competitor to Trump, but his support has been decreasing. Many other Republicans are hoping for a chance to win, in case Trump falters. Some are also eyeing the possibility of becoming the vice president or getting a job in the media.

On the Democratic side, there were doubts about whether Joe Biden would run for a second term. Some people weren't enthusiastic about his candidacy due to his age and lukewarm appeal to some voters. So, there's still a group of potential Democratic candidates waiting to step in if Biden decides not to run for some reason.

There's also talk of a serious third-party candidate entering the race, possibly led by a group called No Labels or someone else. Cornel West is already running, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is thinking about switching from the Democratic primary to run as an independent. This makes the election seem straightforward at first but actually quite confusing when you dig deeper.

This guide will help you keep track of who's running, who's not, and who's somewhere in between. We'll update it as the campaign unfolds, so make sure to check back regularly. Please Share This News Thank you
