In one year, on November 5, 2024, the next presidential election will take place in the United States. Currently, many signs indicate that there might be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. While the candidacy of the incumbent U.S. President, Joe Biden, is considered secure for the Democrats, former U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be leading in polls for the Republican primaries. Among his internal party competitors for the Republican presidential nomination are figures like Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, Nikki Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Tim Scott, the only African American Republican in the U.S. Senate. How have the various candidates positioned themselves in the primary campaigns, and what central issues are shaping their strategies in the race for the presidential nomination? What influence have the previous developments in the primaries had on the dynamics and trajectory of the upcoming campaign phases? What key themes are emerging in the 2024 campaign landscape, and how might they impact the political narrative? In what ways do the focus areas of the current campaign differ from those of previous years, and what societal developments or events have contributed to this shift in key issues? Podcast hosts Julia Friedlander of the Atlantic Bridge and Stormy-Annika Mildner of the Aspen Institute Germany discuss these questions with Juliane Schäuble, U.S. correspondent for Tagesspiegel, and Kai Whittaker, Member of the German Bundestag (CDU/CSU) and Deputy Chair of the German-American Parliamentary Group.
