The Political Landscape
The next election will be similar to the one in 2020, with Biden being the incumbent and not facing much of a primary fight from the Democratic Party, while Trump won the Republican primary field. However, there is a lot of controversy and popular scepticism around both contenders.
Biden’s Presidency Under Scrutiny
Economic issues throughout President Biden’s presidency have included rising inflation and divisive industry policy. Overshadowed by persistent doubts about his youth and vitality, his foreign policies—particularly his leadership against Russia’s actions in Ukraine—have been the focal point of his campaign.
Trump’s Campaign Amid Legal Battles
Known for his unorthodox methods, Donald Trump is facing legal issues because of his purported involvement in attempts to void the results of the 2020 election. Trump keeps rallying his supporters by promising to address cultural issues and disparage his legal opponents in spite of legal pressure.
