US 2024 Elections 7-12-24

The 2024 US Elections are expected to be close, but polling on issues suggests that Republicans will win the Senate, House and Presidency. 

US Senate Race 2024

The US Senate race is being tracked. 33 Senate Seats are up for election in 2024. 19 of these seats are held by Democrats. 10 Senate Seats are held by Republicans. 4 of these seats are held by Independents, who generally vote with Democrats.

US House Race

The US House elections are harder to track. All 435 House Seats are up for election in 2024. 213 Democrats occupy house seats. 220 Republicans occupy house seats. All seats are up for election.

Campaign Funding

The cost of campaign funding is too high. Reliance on TV ads is the problem. Outside money from Soros and Democrats results in bad candidates being elected.

Joe Biden

Joe Biden was born in 1942 in Scranton Pennsylvania. The family moved to Delaware in 1953. 

He graduated with a BS degree from the University of Delaware in 1965. He graduated with a Law Degree from Scranton University ranked 76th in his class of 85 in 1968. He was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969 and practiced as a defense attorney before running for full-time political office.  

He began his political life in 1971 when he was elected to a City Counsel job in Delaware. He was then elected to be a US Senator in 1973 and served as a US Senator from 1973 to 2009. Biden was elected Vice President in 2009 and served until 2017.  He didn’t serve in elective office from 2017 to 2020. He was then elected President in 2020 and will complete his first term in 2024. He is up for reelection in 2024.

He entered the US Senate in 1973 during Nixon’s second term. He was perceived as likable, but not very smart. The US Congress in 1973 voted for whatever their big campaign contributors wanted. They engaged in “horse trading” with each other. The power and size of the Federal Government was growing. In this environment, Biden was known as a “player”.

He continued to be reelected to his US Senate Seat for 36 years or 6 terms until he became Vice President in the Obama administration in 2009. Obama warned us in 2020 that he had bad judgment. The Far-Left had taken control of the Democrat Party and Biden made a deal with them to implement Bernie Sander’s policies. He was elected President in 2020. We have witnessed Biden’s bad judgment over the past 3.5 years.

Politicians like Biden were popular with other politicians, because they would “play ball” and “horse trade” their votes to keep the big campaign contributions coming. This behavior is not appropriate in any job that requires good judgment. Biden’s demise began with his policies on open borders, oil production restrictions, allowing Iran to fund terrorism and continue their nuclear bomb program. He thought his “nice guy” skills would work on Iran, China and Russia. Now he should know that being soft on these countries results in encouraging their misbehavior. His mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal demonstrated his lack of judgment.

Biden’s inconsistent behavior is rooted to his reliance on his “nice guy” skills and he “looses it” when he is under pressure. As a lawyer, he learned “Deny, deny, deny” as his strategy and that no longer works. He is not able to defend his policies. He performed poorly in the Debate with Trump, but performed well during the NATO meeting.  NATO didn’t object to Biden’s policies, so Biden didn’t go into “pressure mode”.

Democrat Voters are leaving the Party. Their allegiance dissolved with the open borders illegal invasion, inflation and the pro-Hamas demonstrations. 

I believe that his personality and his life experiences have brought him to this point. His age may have something to do with his gate and his stubbornness. He may be approaching full-blown age-related dementia.

The solution to our problems is to elect Trump, who has proven that he has good judgment and has announced his recovery plan.
