The 2024 elections have begun, and all signs point to a rehash of 2020's Biden vs. Trump race. Biden is now at the nadir of his approval ratings in office, thanks to his administration's obstinate support for Israel's genocide in Gaza. Within the GOP, Trump's nomination is a fait accompli despite the former president's ongoing legal battles. There are few silver linings in this scenario for the left, but sticking our heads in the sand isn't an option, either. Mel Buer hosts a panel on the critical updates from the election year thus far with Lisa Snowden, award winning reporter and editor-in-chief of the Baltimore Beat; Maximillian Alvarez, editor-in-chief of The Real News; Marc Steiner, host of The Marc Steiner Show at The Real News; and Stephen Janis, investigative reporter and co-host and creator of the Police Accountability Report at The Real News.
