Trump indictments and Biden family probes may shape rematch election.
The 2024 Election: A Rematch and a Battle for Democracy
The upcoming 2024 election is shaping up to be a high-stakes showdown between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. This contest is set to relitigate Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the previous election, especially in light of his three indictments.
Both Biden and Democrats are emphasizing the importance of defending democracy in the aftermath of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. They are also highlighting the need to preserve the independence of the Justice Department. On the other hand, Republicans are focusing on their congressional investigations into Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden.
Trump’s Indictments: Key Takeaways
Trump’s recent indictments have added fuel to the fire. Democrats argue that their message about democracy and the January 6th attack is separate from the legal actions against Trump. They believe that Republicans are trying to muddy the waters by making investigations a part of their campaign strategy.
“We’re going to be talking about abortion, we’re going to be talking about, if it’s Trump, we’re going to talk about how bad his economy was, and we’re going talk about how he tried to overthrow the election,” said a Democratic aide.
Biden has made the idea of democracy a central theme of his presidency, both domestically and in foreign policy. He frequently references his address in Philadelphia before the 2022 midterm elections, where he vowed to defend democracy with every fiber of his being.
“Democracy is at stake,” Biden reiterated during a recent fundraiser in Maine. “If you just take what he said, on the record, I’m inclined, just a snippet, the stuff he said with him and run those ads, some would say it’s just flat seditious. Not who we are.”
While Biden and other Democrats have avoided commenting directly on Trump’s indictments, they are likely to face questions about these developments. Trump and Republicans are actively discussing and fundraising off of these legal matters, which include upcoming court dates and potential charges from the Fulton County District Attorney in Georgia.
“THIS UNPRECEDENTED INDICTMENT OF A FORMER (HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL!) PRESIDENT, & THE LEADING CANDIDATE, BY FAR, IN BOTH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE 2024 GENERAL ELECTION, HAS AWOKEN THE WORLD TO THE CORRUPTION, SCANDAL, & FAILURE THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS,” Trump wrote on social media Wednesday. “AMERICA IS A NATION IN DECLINE, BUT WE WILL MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN, GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE.”
At the same time, Trump and Republicans are drawing attention to the Justice Department’s treatment of Hunter Biden. They argue that there are two different tracks of justice—one for political opponents and another for the son of the current president.
Republicans would prefer the 2024 election to be a referendum on Biden rather than a choice between two unpopular candidates. Biden currently holds a slim lead over Trump in national polls, while Trump leads the Republican primary field by a significant margin.
The stage is set for a fierce battle for democracy and the future of the United States in the 2024 election.
