2024 is shaping up to be a wild ride, folks! Get ready for the longest presidential campaign EVER, featuring two oldies battling it out for the White House – President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Talk about deja vu, am I right?
But hold on to your hats, because the voters are not exactly excited about this 2020 rematch. I mean, who can blame them? It’s like watching a never-ending soap opera. And let’s face it, sustaining enthusiasm over such a long campaign is like trying to keep a squirrel still for a family portrait – nearly impossible!
Now, this elongated campaign will require some adjustments in the way these candidates raise and spend money. But don’t worry, folks, they’ve got Wall Street Journal on the case to figure it all out. Money talks, after all.
Let’s talk disadvantages, shall we? Let’s start with good ol’ Sleepy Joe, being a sprightly 81 years old. Now, I’m not saying he’s fragile, but compared to Trump, he kinda looks like he needs a nap. Plus, he sure did a stellar job creating that lackluster economy with his reckless spending during the whole COVID debacle. Bravo, Mr. President.
But here’s the kicker, folks. Biden is falling behind in the polls. And that’s not a good sign for a Democrat candidate. I mean, these polls have always leaned Democrat, so either Biden’s in deep trouble or they’re finally getting something right. My money’s on the former.
Oh, and did I mention the little impeachment inquiry and the suspicions of foreign payoffs for favorable policies? Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that used to be considered treason. Just saying.
Now, let’s not forget about everyone’s favorite braggadocious billionaire, Donald J. Trump. He’s facing FOUR indictments, four! But don’t worry, his supporters see them as politically motivated and, let’s be honest, pretty underwhelming.
However, not everyone is as understanding as Trump’s die-hard fans. As this never-ending campaign drags on, those 91 criminal charges might start to tarnish that golden halo he’s been wearing. Even the independents and Democrats might start to look at him a bit sideways. Can’t blame them, really. Would YOU vote for someone who can’t keep their mouth shut? Yeah, me neither.
But here’s the twist, folks. This time around, we’ve got TWO incumbents vying for the presidency. It’s like a political sitcom! While Biden is the actual incumbent with all the perks and resources, Trump knows the ins and outs of campaigning like nobody’s business. And let’s not forget, he’s benefiting from that “outsider” status. People are not thrilled with the economy, and illegal immigration isn’t exactly winning any popularity contests.
