The 2024 Fight of the Elephant (Republicans) vs. the Donkey (Democrats)
As the Nov. 5 election approaches, it is essential for students to understand the significance of politics and its impact on our lives. The decisions made by our leaders today will shape the world we inherit tomorrow.
By staying informed and engaged, students can ensure their voices are heard and contribute to a better future. Here, we will explore five key issues—abortion, the economy, immigration, foreign policy, and the environment—which are particularly relevant to students.
With the upcoming presidential election, voters will have the choice between two major candidates: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Both have drastic differences in policies and could shape America’s future in different ways.
Donald Trump is the former President of the United States. After losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump continued to be a significant figure in the Republican Party and announced his intention to run for president again in 2024. Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign focused on immigration, economic growth, and strong foreign policy.
Kamala Harris is the current Vice President of the United States, serving under Biden. Before Harris was Vice President, she was the Attorney General for the state of California, and later became a senator for the Golden State. Harris’ campaign has focused on economic growth, healthcare affordability, reproductive rights, and environmental sustainability, while highlighting her commitment to middle-class support.
All information about each candidate has been pulled from their campaigns’ websites, donaldjtrump.com and kamalaharris.com. Student sources are listed in no particular order other than category.
