Election of 2024: Who Are The Candidates For President
Posted by Bruce on June 20, 2024 at 7:31 pmDoes anyone k now or have confirmation of who the Presidential candidates as well as their Vice President running mates are for the Presidential Election of 2024? I know former President Donald Trump has the Republican nomination for President but who will be Donald Trump’s Vice President pick? It seems like former President Donald Trump does not have a good track record of appointing loyal team members. All of his picks for top positions have turned on him including Mike Pence as his Vice President, Rod Rosenstein as his Attorney General, James Comey as his FBI Director, Nikki Haley, Mark Meadows as his Chief of Staff, and dozens of other key cabinet members he chose. As for Joe Biden, is he on planning to run another four years? Will Kamala Harris be his Vice President? There is a lot of rumors from both sides of the isle that Joe Biden is too old to run at 81 years old and Michelle Obama may be the runner up for the Democrats. Its almost July and the Election of 2024 will be in a few months which is right around the corner. Whoever the runner up is, hope the Democrat candidate will be truthful, transparent, not lie, and most important of all, be competent and have the United States at heart and best interest of American. The economy is in bad shape, inflation out of control, unemployment rate at an all time high. American worker’s wages are down 20% from 2019 while the price of goods and services are double. Homeownership is out of the question for middle American wage earners.

Donald Trump has secured the Republican nomination for President. However, as of my last update, his choice for vice president had not been officially announced.
On the Democratic side, Joe Biden is running for re-election with Kamala Harris as his running mate. Despite speculation and rumors, this remained the official Democratic ticket as of my last update.
It’s important to note that official announcements and changes can occur rapidly in politics. For the most up-to-date and accurate information, I recommend checking official campaign websites, statements from the political parties, or reliable news sources.
While there have been challenges to the economic situation, it’s important to rely on official economic data for accurate assessments. Economic indicators can be complex and are often subject to different interpretations.
Concerns about competence, transparency, and the best interests of Americans are important issues that voters often consider. I encourage voters to research candidates’ positions and track records and propose policies from reliable sources to make informed decisions. I suggest to consult recent official sources or reputable news outlets for the most current details on candidates, economic data, and campaign developments.

I will vote for the FELON
I am not in a cult, I do not worship Trump. I like the policies and the things he got done while in office. Here is a list of the things Trump did while in office, which can all be verified. This is why I will vote for him again. It is not emotionally based, and there are no feelings involved.
Read this list and tell me you do not want this for our country. How can any American not want this?
To the left stop screaming orange man bad and read.
Will you vote on policy in 2024 or emotion?
