DC Edit | Biden vs Trump in 2024?
Deccan ChronicleIt is a sequel very few Americans may wish to see as Mr Joe Biden announced his decision to run for US President again and will, in all probability, face his predecessor Mr Donald Trump in a geriatric contest that will be put to vote on November 5, 2024. A polarised America must choose between an ageing incumbent who, however, has performed exceptionally in a few areas like rebuilding from the pandemic, keeping allies united to keep Russia’s Mr Putin’s war effort at bay in Ukraine and standing up for the free world and human rights. The most dangerous among his core supporters, essentially from Middle America and mostly white, were seen taking a hand in the attack on democratic institutions and a clean and fair election process without which real democracy cannot exist as well as a violent coup attempt at the heart of Washington’s revered symbols of a free country. That is a worry enough to rattle the world way beyond Washington and the United States as the 2020 contestants may go head-to-head again in an election that has the potential to shake the foundation that is keeping things together in the world’s largest economy as well as its most powerful military.
