As the year is progresses, November 6th is a day to mark in your calendars. The 2024 Presidential elections are right around the corner, and as the states start their primary elections, one candidate has caught the eye of the nation.
Former President Donald Trump has started his run to be the Republican Party Nominee for president. Trump has won two states’ votes in the primary stages. On January 6th of 2024, the third anniversary of the raid on the Capitol, Donald Trump won the Iowa Republican caucus by fifty-one percent with 56,260 votes over Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis combined.
On Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024 Donald Trump won the New Hampshire vote in their primary election by 176,004 votes. Gaining 12 delegates, Trump’s dominance over the states is a challenge for the other candidates.
Trump’s massive stretch in voters versus the other politicians he’s running against has convinced some candidates to drop out of the race. Florida governor DeSantis was a former runner in the election and due to Trump’s win in Iowa, he believes he has failed his presidential campaign. Due to either Trump’s popularity vote or his own mistakes, he dropped out of the Republican race over this past weekend.
With the same issue of Iowa’s big stretch, another candidate dropped out of the election. Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the 2024 presidential race Monday night after a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses. After his dropout, he endorsed former President Trump and urged Haley to drop out of the primary.
On August 1, 2023, a grand jury indicted Trump on four charges of not only convincing Americans to raid the capital but also defrauding the United States under Title 18 of the United States Code.
