President and Vice President:
The 2024 U.S. presidential election is a hotly contested race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump’s campaign, with running mate JD Vance, has been centering its messaging on protecting and prioritizing America first with a platform focused on immigration reform, fixing inflation and providing tax cuts. Harris, and running mate Tim Walz, have focused their campaign messaging on keeping America on the right track with a platform highlighting immigratrion reform strengthening health care and providing national protections for abortion access. The intense battle to get voters out to the polls, especially in key swing states such as Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania, has been hard fought as the race is expected to be extremely tight. Both candidates feature a striking contrast in their stance on many key issues such as foreign policy, civil rights, inflation and immigration, signifying that the outcome of this election will significantly impact U.S. policies going forward.
Our choice: Kamala Harris
Failing to denounce the genocide in Gaza, inconsistent messaging on key issues and tension within her current administration as vice president proves that Harris is far from a perfect candidate. However, electing Donald Trump to the oval office for a second term would leave Americans and the world in for another four years of chaos. Trump’s divisive rhetoric and flawed policies will accomplish nothing but tear the country apart. While both candidates fail to provide a great choice for the American people, the better choice would be to elect Kamala Harris.
