Donald Trump and Joe Biden should drop out of 2024 presidential race
A rematch between Trump and Biden would be a continuation of the division and dysfunction that has characterized American politics in recent years. It would be better for the country with someone new who can unite the country and address the challenges facing America.
Why Donald Trump should drop out of the 2024 presidential race
Former President Donald Trump is the frontrunner in the Republican presidential primary for 2024, but there are a number of reasons why he should drop out of the race.
Trump is currently facing multiple criminal charges. He is unpopular with the American people. Trump's approval ratings have been consistently low since he left office.
A recent poll found that only 39% of Americans have a favorable opinion of him. This makes it unlikely that he would be able to win a general election.
There are many different perspectives on Trump's presidency including some who would acknowledge that the economy was better and the border, a focus of the Trump administration was more secure.
Trump's foreign policy was often erratic and unpredictable. He withdrew the United States from several international agreements and imposed tariffs on goods from China and other countries which led to economic conflict.
The Trump administration's response to the COVID-19 pandemic was widely criticized.

Trump is a very polarizing figure. His supporters love him, but his detractors despise him. This division would make it difficult for him to unite the country as president.
Why Joe Biden should drop out of the 2024 presidential race
Biden will be 82 years old on Election Day 2024. He would be the oldest person ever elected president, and his age could become more of a liability.
He has also been criticized for his gaffes and misstatements including the recent “no comment,” he made when asked to speak on the Maui disaster. The White House now says Biden didn’t hear wildfire question that sparked ‘no comment’ response.
Biden's approval ratings have been consistently low throughout his presidency. The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021 was widely seen as a chaotic and embarrassing failure for the Biden administration. The Taliban quickly took control of the country, and many Americans and Afghan allies were left stranded. Thirteen service men and women died.
The Biden administration has been criticized for its handling of the ongoing migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border. The number of illegal border crossings increased significantly when Biden took office, and the administration has been accused of being too lenient on illegal immigrants.
The US economy has been struggling under Biden's presidency. The economy is currently a major issue for voters. Biden's approval ratings have been hurt by inflation and gas prices.
Biden has been criticized for his handling of foreign policy issues, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Biden may also be facing an impeachment inquiry over possible foreign business dealings with his son Hunter Biden. He is also under investigation for having classified documents in multiple locations.
Black Political Opinion: Donald Trump and Joe Biden should drop out of 2024 presidential race
Trump's presidency was marked by a high degree of divisiveness. He frequently made inflammatory remarks that alienated many Americans. He also attacked the media and the judiciary, which further eroded trust in institutions.
Biden has not been the unifier in chief as he promised. He has been criticized for isolating half of the country with his MAGA rhetoric.
There is no doubt that the political climate in the United States has become increasingly polarized in recent years. This is evident in the way that people talk about politics, the way that they vote, and the way that they interact with each other.
The United States is deeply divided. The two major parties seem to be more interested in fighting each other than in governing. This division is not healthy for the country, and it is only going to get worse if Biden and Trump are the two major candidates in the 2024 presidential election.
