The 2024 Presidential Election in the United States of America is the most widely covered and closely followed election in a year which has seen roughly 50% of the world’s population go to the polls, with elections having taken place in 64 countries plus the European Union. This book explains both the 2024 Election and, more importantly, how the American political system works. It covers and explains voting methods, the Electoral College, the Swing States, the United States Senate and House of Representatives, and key Congressional races. It explains how American political campaigns are funded, why American elections cost so much, the controversial 'Citizens United' decision and America’s campaign finance laws. It contains short yet detailed biographies of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump, explaining their political careers, values, motivations, and accomplishments. It explains polling, how polls are conducted, and how polls are used by campaigns. The book also explains the key demographic cohorts, the strategy of base turnout, and some of the root causes of the present divisions in American society today. Finally, the book explains the key issues facing American voters this year, both domestic and foreign. Domestic issues such as inflation, housing, taxation, trade policy, illegal immigration, the Supreme Court, and abortion are all explained, as are matters of foreign policy, including an overview and analysis of America’s post-Cold War foreign policy decisions, the proxy war being waged in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, the strategic competition between the United States and China, the NATO welfare system, and how America can shape its strategy for dealing with the new multipolar world order.This book will not only help a reader understand the 2024 Presidential Election, it will help readers understand the American political system itself, making it relevant far beyond 2024.
