Early polls reveal that former President Trump is leading in the GOP primary race for the 2024 election. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, once a significant contender, has slipped into third place in South Carolina. In contrast, Trump’s dominance continues to grow. Concurrently, questions about President Biden’s mental fitness have emerged, creating a sense of uncertainty in the Democratic field. The dynamics suggest a reshaping of the GOP field with Nikki Haley overtaking DeSantis for the second spot. While Trump remains the clear front-runner, skeptics question whether he or Biden should seek a second term, and a majority are open to considering a moderate independent candidate. The upcoming elections present challenges for both parties, with an imminent need to address key policy issues and candidate selection.
