MNI POLITICAL RISK - US Elections Weekly - 24 May

Executive Summary:

  • Welcome to a new weekly MNI Political Risk newsletter. This mailer will run through the 2024 US general election with updates on the presidential election race, the race for control of the Senate and House of Representatives, and political trends that could impact the election.
  • The 2024 presidential election is set to be one of closest in modern US history. The electorate is faced with two divisive candidates who have struggled to motivate enthusiasm amongst their core bases. Incumbent President Joe Biden is labouring under concerns over his age and mental acuity, backlash to inflation, and fissures within his 2020 progressive alliance over policy in the Middle East.
  • Former President Donald Trump is facing four criminal prosecutions and a relatively bare campaign war chest which has hampered his ability to attend campaign events and generate the same grassroots buzz which drove his 2016 campaign.
