Who’s running for U.S. president in 2024?

Published

The presidential primaries are quickly approaching, and both Republicans and Democrats are throwing their hats in the ring.

It’s already a crowded field of candidates all vying for the nation’s top job.

So, can anyone carve out a clear path to the White House?

 
Campaign season is ramping up as the U.S. Presidential field continues to expand especially on the GOP side. Former President Donald Trump was among the first to declare his candidacy for the Republican nomination.

Since then, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are just some of the contenders who have declared their candidacies.

While the field continues to expand, President Trump remains the GOP front-runner and is dominating the polls among potential primary voters.

On the Democratic side—President Joe Biden announced his intent to run for re-election in April. He is already the oldest president in history—and would be 86-year-old at the end of a second term.

Many Democratic voters have indicated they would like to see a different candidate.

Author and spiritual adviser, Marianne Williamson was the first primary challenger for President Biden.

Then, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a member of one of the most famous American political families announced he is running for president.

U.S. halts TSMC chip shipments to China

Published

on

The U.S. has ordered TSMC to stop shipping advanced AI and GPU chips to China starting Monday.

 

This decision follows concerns that TSMC chips were found in Huawei’s AI processors, potentially violating export controls. TSMC has informed its Chinese clients that shipments are now suspended. Huawei, already on the U.S. trade blacklist, faces further challenges in developing AI technology. The U.S. is also targeting other companies involved in shipping these chips to China as part of a broader effort to limit China’s access to advanced tech. TSMC has confirmed it will follow all export regulations.

Trump’s plans to shakeup the Pentagon military leadership

Published

on

President-elect Trump’s return may spell big changes for the Pentagon.

Trump has hinted at removing military officials he deems “woke” or disloyal, creating unease within the Defense Department.

Some of Trump’s former generals have labeled him unfit for office, but he’s doubling down on loyalty as a top priority.

Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jack Reed warns that Trump could “destroy” the Pentagon by removing generals who stand by the Constitution.

Military leaders could face dismissal if they don’t align with Trump’s stances on issues like NATO or domestic deployments.

This loyalty push may reshape America’s military approach under Trump’s leadership.

Judge grants request to pause Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case

Special Counsel Jack Smith moves to vacate pretrial deadlines as DOJ weighs next steps after Trump’s Election Day victory.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause proceedings in former President Donald Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case.

The decision halts upcoming pretrial deadlines, allowing the Department of Justice (DOJ) time to consider next steps after Trump’s recent electoral win.

Smith’s motion filed on Friday highlighted the unprecedented situation, noting, “as a result of the election,” the DOJ seeks to vacate remaining deadlines to “assess this unprecedented circumstance.”

Judge Chutkan agreed, instructing the prosecution to submit a status report on December 2 with its proposed course of action.

The request marks a pivotal step, likely steering toward a halt in prosecution, given the DOJ’s longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

Trump’s victory, making him the first convicted felon elected to the White House, has prompted DOJ officials to deliberate on how best to close Smith’s two federal cases against him.

Had Trump lost the race against Vice President Harris, the former president could have faced potential prison time.

However, this Election Day win likely shields him from criminal consequences while in office.
