The 2024 Presidential Election will be held on Nov. 5 of 2024 with two main candidates running against one another: democratic nominee Kamala Harris and republican nominee Donald Trump. 

Former President Trump’s campaign has a focus on taxes and bettering cost for Americas future through ending double taxation. 

On the other hand, current Vice President Harris’ campaign focuses on lowering healthcare cost and advocating for those in medical need. 

This race differed from previous years due to current President Joe Biden dropping out of the race and being replaced by Harris in July. 

People, such as Ashland University’s Assistant Professor Jeffrey Delbert, have analyzed this race and compared and contrasted the campaign strategies.  

He finds that Harris campaign focuses on reaching out to different demographics while Trumps campaign is attack heavy.  

Delbert said, “There’s this outreach happening with Harris, I’ve seen, where she’s trying to reach other voters because she is unknown and she is trying to reach out to all sorts of voters where she might not, otherwise. So, in that campaign strategy, I don’t think there’s necessarily too much new except in that these individuals have to articulate – Harris needs to articulate that she has experience but at the same time, she has to distance herself from President Biden’s polices.” 

AU Associate Professor of Political Science Adam Carrington also compares and contrasts the campaigns of Harris and Trump. 

He finds that Harris has a more suburban and urban demographic while Trump gains more attention from rural areas. 

He also touches on the campaigns finding Harris is stricter and more controlled while the Trump campaign is more unscripted; however, he finds that these both play to the strengths of each candidate’s campaign. 

The 47th president of the United States of America will be announced on Nov. 5 on the JDM Streaming Website for the 2024 Election Show.
