The midterm elections in 2022 have made the presidential candidacy race more interesting. The results have divided Congress, where Democrats have gained control of the Senate and Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives. Despite the majority, the trends have indicated that the Joe Biden administration is in hot water with American citizens, whereas Donald Trump is emerging as a favorable Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential elections.
Now, the candidates from both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have filed to run for the elections in 2024. Many have confirmed their candidacies, but a few of them have yet to confirm. Donald Trump has confirmed that the two will run in the upcoming elections. Biden is likely to announce his presidential nomination. Joe Biden’s two-year tenure has proved beneficial for the economy of the century amidst the fear of a successive recession in the country. But his social legislation has failed to help marginalized communities with rampant anti-LGBTQIA+ laws. Trump’s indictment will not affect his filing for the race, but considering the last election’s havoc and the criminal charges, the chances may be slim.

Many Republicans Including Donald Trump Announced Their Nominations
The loss of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, brought forth two episodes in the political history of the United States of America. First, during the vote counting, Trump emerged as a sore loser, triggering a revolt on Capitol Hill in January 2021. Second, the shocking shadow campaigning article in the Times
It highlighted two contrasting pictures of the political landscape. The latter could have proven to be in favor of Trump if he had not incited the violence. But, surprisingly, as per a Reuters poll, 48% of Republicans want Trump as their presidential nominee despite the criminal charges and controversies.
Along with Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during Trump’s reign, announced her nomination in February 2023. Women candidates who file the nominations have often been sidelined, but her early nomination can give her an upper hand over her male counterparts, including Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis, the two prominent candidates who have yet to file the nomination.
Former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson has also confirmed his nomination for April 2023. He has been a controversial figure when it comes to LGBTQIA+ rights, refusing to sign a gay anti-discrimination bill in 2015 and opposing the gender-affirming care bill for transgender children. He has been a Trump critic since the Capitol Hill debacle. So, it would be difficult for him to appeal to Trump-supporting Republicans. The Republican Party’s presidential primary will begin in January 2024.
