U.S. voters’ thoughts post-midterm elections and Twitter poll

Published

on

The 2024 Presidential election is swiftly taking center stage

According to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey, unhappiness with the direction of the country remains in place with President Joe Biden’s approval flat at 43 percent.

Additionally, a majority of American voters continue to say their financial situation is becoming worse, with four in 10 voters believing the country is in a recession.

Another four in 10 think it will be in a recession next year.

Among GOP voters polled, Trump’s support in a 2024 primary fell 9 points to 46%, while DeSantis rose 11 points to 28%.

In a hypothetical 2024 presidential race, DeSantis runs even with Biden and beats Harris by 3 points.

These are the results from the monthly collaboration between the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS) and the Harris Poll and HarrisX.

However, it’s important to note that in the past several years, poll results have struggled to capture accurate overviews.

As talk about the 2024 Presidential election swirls—billionaire Elon Musk held his own poll on Twitter.

Musk asked users to vote on whether to reinstate former President Donald Trump.

A little more than 15-million Twitter users voted in the poll with 51.8% voting in favor of reinstatement.

Trump has 87.5-million followers on Twitter compared to President Biden’s 36.4-million followers.

Following the reinstatement news, the former president said via video when asked whether he planned to return to Twitter by a panel at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting, “I don’t see any reason for it.”

Sone information may be kept under wraps for national security reasons

U.S. President Joe Biden has signed a bill requiring all information relating to the origins of COVID-19 be declassified.

Biden says he shares the Congress goal of releasing as much information as possible about the virus.

But, he says his Administration will still keep national security in mind when deciding what to publish.

The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and House of Representatives before being sent to the White House.

For several months now, Washington has been debating the origins of the virus.

It follows a report by the U.S. Energy Department which says the pandemic arose from a lab leak.

Ron DeSantis breaks silence over Donald Trump charges

The Florida Governor says he won’t get involved

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis has broken his silence on the Manhattan District Attorney pursuing charges against Donald Trump.

DeSantis has vowed his office will not get involved if the matter trickles into the former President’s adopted home state – that is Florida.

But the Florida governor stopped well short of offering support to Trump, instead poking fun at the situation.

A New York grand jury is in the final stages of determining whether Trump should face charges over an alleged payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

This is all related to an alleged affair.

The dismissive and tongue-in-cheek comments made by DeSantis travelled quickly.

Trump’s allies immediately started attacking the Florida governor across social media, suggesting he will face a political price for failing to rally around Trump.

This was before the former president responded himself, saying “Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about false accusations & fake stories sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known”.

The episode is just another example of the tension and rivalry between two of the GOP’s biggest stars as they battle for party supremacy.

Russia-China Summit comes as ICC accuses Putin of committing war crimes

President Xi Jinping traveled from China to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The dictators held a nearly five-hour long closed-door meeting.

In front of the cameras, they praised their friendship.

Currently, China and Russia share similar goals and stand in opposition against the United States and Western influences.

Putin signalled that Russia is ready to review China’s proposal for resolving the situation in Ukraine which has now entered into its second year.

However, critics are expressing skepticism about Beijing’s role as a peacemaker.

Western leaders who back Ukraine worry that instead of peace, China will soon provide lethal aid to Russia.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden has come under fire for not responding with tough talk.

The China-Russia Summit comes after an arrest warrant was issued for Putin from the ICC for war crime charges.

White House officials say they are working on arranging a call between Biden and Xi.
