The 2024 US presidential election will be the 60th presidential election and will determine the 46th or 47th president of the United States of America. It will occur on November 5, with televised debates likely occuring in September and October.
Incumbent President Joe Biden (D):
Born in 1942, Joe Biden grew up in a middle class household primarily in rural and suburban Delaware. He received a graduate law degree in 1968, receiving Delaware Bar membership in 1969, and spending 2 years as a lawyer and 2 years as a county council member of New Castle County, DE. During this time Biden received 5 student draft deferments and, after he graduated in 1968, one conditional medical deferment for asthma, allowing him to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. Joe Biden served as a democratic senator for Delaware from 1973 - 2009, and as the vice president to Barack Obama from 2009 - 2017. He is serving one term as president from 2021-2025.
Biden is widely criticized as a career politician, and is often criticized for his old age, occassional memory loss, and his son's potential coercion of foreign dignitaries,
He is also criticized for his handling of the US withdrawal from Afganistan, his handling of the Israeli-Hamas war, rising inflation, the worsening border security and asylum crisis, and his increased government spending.
Biden promises to largely maintain the international status quo, expand government services for the poor and working class, attempt to reduce federal student loan debt, make abortion legal federally, protect minority and lgbtq rights, and make further investments into public infrastructure.
Former President Donald Trump (R):
Born in 1946, Donald Trump grew up in an extraordinarily wealthy household in New York, New York. He received an undergraduate degree in economics in 1968 and was employed shortly thereafter at his father's real estate development company. In 1971, he became president of the company. During this time, Trump received 4 student draft deferments and, after he graduated in 1968, received a conditional medical deferment, before receiving a permanent disqualification in 1972 for bone spurs. This allowed him to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. Trump spent his career predominantly as a real estate developer and occassional reality TV star, eventually becoming a multi-billionaire through his businesses. He served one term as president from 2017-2021.
Trump is widely criticized for receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from his father, some of which he did not pay back, his potential tax evasion, and for allowing multiple of his businesses to go into bankruptcy to avoid repaying debt to the banks (or to restructure the debt on more favorable terms).
He is also criticized for supporting nationalism, his "America First" policies, confronting both allies and enemies aggressively, cutting taxes on the wealthy, rising income inequality, rebuking scientific convention on global warming and the COVID-19 pandemic, his "muslim nation travel ban", and his claims that he won the 2020 election.
Trump promises to strengthen national security, secure the border by cutting off illegal immigration, build a border wall betweem the US and Mexico, confront hostile nations, confront allied nations who are not paying their share of defense spending, negotiate an end of american involvement in Ukraine, defend traditional american values, protect religious freedoms, protect the right to bear arms, and cut both taxes and expensive government programs.
Robert Kennedy Jr. (I):
Born in 1954, Robert F Kennedy grew up in Massachusetts and Virginia in the wealthy Kennedy family. When he was 9, his uncle, democratic President John F Kennedy, was assasinated. His father, senator and attorney general Robert Kennedy, was assasinated 5 years later while running for president. He received an undergraduate degree in american history and literature in 1976 and a graduate law degree in 1982. He spent the majority of his career, from 1985-2017 as a senior attorney for Riverkeeper, a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the protection of the Hudson river.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is widely criticized for his past drug convictions, lack of political experience outside of advocacy related lawsuits, and anti-vax political beliefs. He notably was a proponent of the idea that vaccines cause autism, which is considered by many to be a conspiracy theory.
He is also criticized of attempting to spoil the election for Joe Biden by running as an independent with a moderate democratic agenda.
Libertarian Nominee:
Generally only receiving 1-2 million votes, the Libertarian party broadly believes in restricting government involvement in all areas. Libertarians want to reduce taxes and all government programs, shift towards isolationism, and expand all individual freedoms radically. As a result libertarians often support conflicting social ideas, such as protections for lgbtq individuals and also protections towards individuals and businesses to choose not to hire or serve certain populations. Libertarians believe in the free market and limited government above all else.
