We are two-thirds of the way through Q1 2024, and the election season is full upon us. Iowa and New Hampshire are already in the rearview mirror, and we are headed for a rematch between the president and his predecessor—something the American people don’t want to see, according to multiple polls.
President Biden is well on his way to a coronation at the DNC convention despite mounting dissatisfaction with everything from the southern border to his struggles with words and directions at public events.
Some analysts wonder if Biden will be the party’s nominee this fall, but Democrats, led by the Future Forward USA PAC, have committed nearly $190 million to his reelection. Biden, who raised $42 million in January alone, has much more money on hand than Trump.
For former President Trump, dollars that could bolster his campaign are instead paying off his immense legal bills. Also, did Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, qualify as an insurrection and make him ineligible to serve again? The Supreme Court is hearing this new wrinkle on the 14th Amendment and will rule on that question.
