The US Presidential Election Unraveled
The US presidential election of 2024 was marked by intense drama, with Donald Trump returning to the Oval Office amid controversies surrounding both candidates. Trump's attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally elevated his status among supporters, while Joe Biden's perceived decline led to fears about his ability to lead. Despite efforts from Vice President Kamala Harris to position herself as a progressive alternative, she struggled to detach from Biden's legacy, which ultimately hampered her campaign. The election results indicated that voters prioritized economic concerns like inflation and immigration over issues such as democracy and reproductive rights, leading to Trump's victory.
