May 5, 2024: Pete Buttigieg drops out of Democratic primary

Breaking News. United States Ambassador to the United Nations and top Presidential contender Pete Buttigieg has dropped out of the Presidential race. Pete has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President. In addition, President Biden also endorsed his Vice President, Harris for President in 2024. Pete could not win the primary without a contensted convention, in which Harris would have likely still become the eventual Democratic nominee for President. Pete ran in the 2020 Democratic Primary but dropped out before Super Tuesday to Endorse then Vice President Biden. Pete will likely eventually finish as the runner-up in the 2024 Democratic Primary, unless if AOC is able to get past Buttigieg in the delegate count. Buttigieg is considered a top choice being considered as Vice President for Kamala Harris. Other candidates include former 2024 Presidential candidates: Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

All I am saying is this: Not very happy with this outcome on the Republican Side of things.
The only chance Haley has now is to keep Pence under that 1.276 Number.
That would probably require her to win New Jersey, New Mexico and Oregon. I can see her winning Oregon (close proximity to CA which she won) and NM (Hispanic Population). To win New Jersey she needs Donald Trump Jr. to come out for her endorsing her Campaign.

That does make sense but I do think Pence (former VP at this point) would win the Republican primary. He's better known and likely would win the primary. Haley overall is a better candidate and would have done better in the general election than Pence.

Not sure about about that! The way you started the TL with Biden winning the Presidency + Trump/Pence Coronavirus Response I would have thought Pence would be damaged goods in 2024 which I think he will for real if Pence and Haley, both run for the Presidency in 2024.

Yes, that is true but most people blame the pandemic response on Trump not Pence. Also, Republican voters overall do support Trump and I think would also support Pence. Republicans do support Pence.

May 15, 2024: Ted Cruz drops out of Republican primary



Wikimedia Commons

Texas senator Ted Cruz has dropped out of the Republican primary. Senator Cruz was the runner-up in the 2016 Republican primary to then businessman and eventual President Donald Trump. Senator Cruz did not fare as well in the 2024 Republican primary despite winning the Texas and Oklahoma Republican primaries. Cruz has announced that as of now in the possibility of a contested convention, he will not endorse a candidate for President. Cruz is likely to favor Pence over Haley but as of now, he has not endorsed a candidate for President. Pence is only 128 delegates away from clinching the Republican nomination.

Why would people only blame Trump for the Coronavirus Response when Pence was VP and Head of the COVID-19 Task Force. It doesn't pass the smell test mate!

Yes, you are correct that people would blame Trump and Pence both, but Republicans for the most part do support Trump and his response to the pandemic. Democrats and Independents are the vast majority of Americans that disapprove of Trump's response to the pandemic. About 90% of Republicans still support Trump and therefore likely Pence too. I do believe that Pence would win in the Republican primary.

Jun. 5, 2024: Kamala Harris clinches Democratic Nomination



Wikimedia Commons

Vice President Kamala Harris has become the official Democratic nominee for President in 2024. Harris served as the junior senator from California from 2016 until 2021, when she became Vice President under President Biden. Biden endorsed Harris for President when Pete Buttigieg dropped out a month ago. Yesterday in the final primary night, Harris became the official nominee, once she clinched at least fifty percent of delegates, at 1,991 delegates. Harris finished with 2,015 delegates. Pete Buttigieg finished in second as the runner-up in the primary with 539 delegates. It seemed in late April that the primary would go to a contested convention but then Buttigieg announced that he will drop out of the primary which cleared Harris' path to the nomination. Harris stated, "Thank you everyone! We have won the long fount Democratic primary. I want to thank everyone who else helped our campaign and I also want to congratulate every former 2024 Democratic Candidate. We will continue this great campaign and win in November!"  Top candidates for Vice President include former 2024 Presidential Candidates including United Nations ambassador Pete Buttigieg, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, and Massachusetts Senator Joe Kennedy III. Other candidates for VP include Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey Jr, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, and many other candidates including progressives in the House of Representatives. Former 2020 and 2024 Presidential Candidate Beto O'Rourke was being considered for President but O'Rourke announced a month ago that he will run for Senate in Texas against Ted Cruz. O'Rourke ran for Senate against Senator Cruz six years ago in 2018 and lost by a mere 2% which was the closest the state had gotten in over thirty years. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the only candidate who had not dropped out of the primary. AOC announced this morning that she will drop out of the primary. AOC has not endorsed Harris yet for President. The Democratic convention will take place from August 5, 2024 to August 8, 2024, two weeks after the Republican National Convention.

Republican Primary will go to contested convention

  

Wikimedia Commons

The Republican Primary will go to a contested convention with no candidate reaching enough delegates (1,276) to clinch the nomination. All candidates have dropped out except for former Indiana Governor and Vice President Mike Pence, and South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. Pence has a strong lead in the delegate count at 1,251 delegates, only 25 delegates shy of the official Republican nomination. Haley finished with 941 delegates, 310 delegates behind Pence. In contrast to the Democratic Primary, it seemed that in late April and Early May that Pence would become the official nominee without a contested convention. Haley upset Pence in the Oregon and New Jersey Republican Primaries. Neither candidate reached enough delegates, so the primary will go to a contested convention in July. Pence is favored to become the official nominee as he is only 25 delegates away from the nomination. It is still possible that Haley could win the nomination as many more former 2024 Primary Candidates have endorsed her than Pence. Cruz endorsed Pence and Baker has not endorsed a candidate citing that the other candidates do not share his same view on enough issues. Baker is a moderate and a liberal Republican from Massachusetts. Trump Jr. endorsed Haley before the New Jersey Republican Primary, citing that Haley is a great candidate who shares his values. The Republican National Convention will take place from July 22, 2024 to July 25, 2024, two weeks before the Democratic Convention in early August.

Wikipedia Commons

Breaking News. President Joe Biden just collapsed in the White House. Biden is the oldest president in United States history at 81 years old. Joe Biden overall is in fairly good health and this was very unexpected. Biden was sent to George Washington Hospital in Washington D.C and was tested positive with COVID-19, the coronavirus that devastated the United States in 2020. It is unclear how long Biden will be in the hospital for and when he will be able to return to the White House. Vice President Kamala Harris will take in some of the duties from President Biden until he can return. Harris, 59 is the official Democratic nominee for President in 2024. Harris was on the campaign trail for a few weeks but will now return to Washington for the forceable future. As of now, President Biden is not in critical condition...

Jul. 8, 2024: President Biden still in the hospital, recovering slowly



Wikipedia Commons

President Biden is still in the hospital and is still recovering from his recent fall. Biden also contracted COVID-19 in late June. The President is doing better and has tested negative for the virus. President Biden is not ready to come back to work at the White House. Biden has been recovering slower than expected. Vice President Kamala Harris is still taking over many of Biden's duties as President for the time being. Biden's approval has went up considerably and reached unseen levels near sixty percent. Republicans in congress and political pundits have said that President Biden is too old to be President at 81 years old. Biden is currently in the last year of his four year term as President, and will be out as President in January. It is unclear if Biden will be present at the Democratic convention in Dallas, Texas in August. The Republican convention will begin in two weeks on July 22 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[President Biden Democrat]

Why did the RNC choose Pittsburgh as Convention Site? They should have chosen Phoenix, AZ.

The RNC chose Pittsburgh as the Convention Site because they are focusing on the midwest over the southeast. They are hoping to win Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc. GOP can not win the election without the midwest, it is just impossible.

That depends on the Candidate though. With Pence as Nominee I agree the Midwest is their only Option. With Haley it would be a totally different Scenario I think.

If Pence does get the Nomination I expect Haley and other Establishment Republicans to completely run away from Pence.

Haley hasn't even indicated that she would back the eventual Nominee. That tells you a lot.

That's true. Most Republicans suspect that Pence will be the nominee as he is much closer to 1,276 delegates and Cruz endorsed Pence, awhile ago. Again, it is still possible that Haley wins the nomination but Pence is totally favored.

Haley needs to reveal her Running Mate soon to sway some Delegates. Will it be enough? That remains to be seen.
My Suggestions would be:
Florida Senator Rick Scott or Marco Rubio
Former Ohio Governor John Kasich
Former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey?
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker

Candidates' running mates probably will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

Jul. 12, 2024: Harris picks Buttigieg as Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee

Vice President Kamala Harris has just announced that she has picked former 2020 and 2024 Presidential Candidate, and current Ambassador to the United Nations Pete Buttigieg as her Vice Presidential Nominee. Buttigieg finished as the runner-up to Vice President Harris in the 2024 Democratic Primary and dropped out in early May before the Indiana Primary, Pete's home state. Since Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the primary, Pete was the front-runner for Vice President and it is suspected that Harris and Buttigieg might have made a deal in early May to avoid a contested convention. If Harris and Buttigieg win in November, Harris would become the first female President and Buttigieg would become the first openly gay Vice President. Harris is currently serving as President Biden's Vice President and has taken over many of his duties as President while he is recovering in the hospital. The Democratic Convention in Dallas, Texas will occur from August 5, 2024 to August 8, 2024.

Why him?  Why not Governor Whitmer? 

Buttigieg was the runner-up in the primary and if he stayed it a little longer, the primary would have went to a contested convention. Harris might also want to pick a man to balance out the ticket and Buttigieg makes sense for that. Similar to Whitmer, Buttigieg will appeal to some voters in the midwest, especially in Iowa and Ohio.

Jul. 15, 2024: Pence picks Ernst, Haley picks Rubio

Former Vice President Mike Pence has picked Iowa Senator Joni Ernst as his runner mate if he wins the Republican nomination at the contested convention beginning next Monday. Ernst has served as the senior senator of Iowa since 2014 and is currently serving in her second term as senator after being re-elected in a tight race in 2020. Pundits believe that Pence picked Ernst to shore up support in the midwest. Pence also likely picked Ernst to diversity the ticket by picking a woman.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has picked Florida Senator Marco Rubio as her running mate if she wins the Republican nomination. Rubio has served as the senior senator from Florida since 2010 and is currently in his third term as senator after being re-elected soundly in 2022. Rubio can appeal to minorities, notably Hispanics and Latinos from Florida and the Southwest. Rubio has also shown that he is willing to work with and compromise with Democrats on key issues like immigration reform. Rubio endorsed Haley right before the highly contested winner-take all Florida primaries. The Republican convention will occur from next Monday, July 22, 2024 to July 25, 2024, which will decide who wins the Republican nomination between Pence and Haley.

Former President Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, finished in fifth and received delegates from the northeast, despite haven dropped out months ago.

Beto spoke about Kamala Harris and her job as Senator of California and Vice President. O'Rourke touted her accomplishments and what she brings to the country. Beto's speech overall was considered a huge success and a likely boost to his Senate campaign in Texas, where he is polling ahead of incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz. One notable absence from the convention was New York Progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who ran for President in 2024 and did underperformed expectations. Cortez was rumored to be considering a run for Senate in New York to challenge Senator Gillibrand, but declined a run and endorsed Gillibrand in early June, right before the filling deadline.
