With the dominant political story of this year being the 2024 presidential election, much attention has focused on Democratic incumbent Joe Biden's widely expected rematch against Republican Donald Trump, who Biden unseated four years earlier. American politics have also focused on responses to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas which started in the year prior and Trump's civil and criminal trials. The Federal Trade Commission under Lina Khan has also played a proactive role in the economics of America, with Khan blocking many mergers and acquisitions, including a merger of JetBlue and Spirit Airlines.[1]

In business, the American economy is currently undergoing a bull market, with Nvidia in particular, due to demand for its chips in the use of artificial intelligence, becoming the third largest publicly-traded company by market capitalization, and partially enabling major American stock indices such as the S&P 500 to achieve record highs.[2] Nvidia's success story, though was contrasted by a series of safety failures, malfunctions, and crashes involving passenger aircraft designed and assembled by Boeing, among the most notable this year including Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 where a door plug blew out.[3][4]

Elections

The US general elections will be held on November 5 of this year. In the federal government, the offices up for election are president, vice president, all 435 seats of the House of Representatives, and roughly one third of the Senate. In this year's presidential election, Joe Biden is eligible to run for a second term. With former president Donald Trump's declaration to run for the office again, the election is expected by many[5][6] to be a rematch of the 2020 election. In the Senate, at least seven seats, those of Senators Tom Carper from Delaware, Mike Braun from Indiana, Ben Cardin from Maryland, Debbie Stabenow from Michigan, Bob Menendez from New Jersey, Mitt Romney from Utah, and Joe Manchin from West Virginia, will be open contests; the seat of the late Dianne Feinstein is also expected to be an open contest with Feinstein's immediate successor, Laphonza Butler, expected not to seek a full term.[7][8][9]

Concerning state governments, 11 states and two territories will hold gubernatorial elections, and most states and territories will hold elections for their legislatures. Many major cities, including Baltimore, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Milwaukee, Miami, Phoenix, San Diego, and San Francisco will also elect their mayors.
