Though the candidates are the same as last time, the 2024 US presidential election promises to be unique in other ways -- pitting two men facing challenges unprecedented in the 235-year history of US democracy.
US President Joe Biden speaks about healthcare during an event at the John Chavis recreation center on March 26, 2024 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
There isn’t much 81-year-old Biden can do about his age, except crack the occasional joke and point out that his opponent is less than four years younger. The strategy comes at a price. Trump has been buried under legal costs stretching into the hundreds of millions of dollars — bills that he finances, in part, via campaign funds.
Trump has long denigrated his rival as “Sleepy Joe,” but Team Biden has been returning the compliment lately, cheekily appropriating a Trumpism to decry “Low Energy Don.”Like Trump, Biden’s age could be a major obstacle as he digs deep to inspire passion in voters over what is set to be one of the most longest, most arduous campaigns in history.
Avoiding interviews with the national press, Biden prefers short exchanges with local or community-based media, and seldom holds news conferences. The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has deployed 35,000 personnel to provide security nationwide as Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
