Former President Donald Trump leads a group of six Republican candidates jostling to be their party’s nominee in the 2024 presidential election, while President Joe Biden faces little opposition in within the Democratic Party. This is a timeline of events related to the November 5, 2024 election between January 1, 2024 and Inauguration Day in January 2025.
Mr. Trump was declared ineligible for the White House under the Insurrection Clause of the US Constitution by the Colorado Supreme Court on December 20, 2023, effectively removing him from the state’s primary ballot. The ruling comes from a court appointed by Democratic governors, marking the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
The other Republican candidates in the 2024 presidential elections, alongside Mr. Trump, are Indian-American presidential candidates. Nikki HaleyIndian-American businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden appears to be losing support globally and in the United States. He warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the country risks losing global support for its war against Hamas because of its “indiscriminate” bombing of Gaza.
In his most direct remarks since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that sparked the current conflict, Biden told donors that Netanyahu must “change” his position on a two-state solution for the Palestinians.
