2024 Election
The 2024 Presidential Election will be the polar opposite of 2020. In 2024 we see a long list of Republican candidates as we saw a flood of Democrat candidates in 2020. Donald Trump is the early 2024 Republican front runner by a large margin. But, given the 3 (maybe more to come) indictments, the 'never Trumper' crowd in the Republican party, and growing list of challengers; Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Doug Burgum, Larry Elder, former VP Mike Pence, former Gov. Nikki Haley, Perry Johnson, Sen. Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramaswamy. The 2024 Democrat field, is President Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Election day is November 5, 2024. The first primary date is currently Feb 3rd in SC, though Iowa is still trying to maintain its first in the nation primary status. 2024 primary dates.

What about you?” Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) thundered before an electrified crowd of thousands. Alongside the family patriarch was his son Patrick (then a Democratic congressman from Rhode Island) and his niece Caroline, who the day before had declared in a New York Times op-ed that then-Sen. Barack Obama would be “a president like my father.”

Take a moment to think about how much has changed for the family since 2008. What struck me most then was the sight of the preternaturally composed Obama, moments before the event, choking back his tears. His own father had come to this country from Kenya as part of a program assisted by the Kennedy family foundation.
