The 2024 is not going to be a repeat of the 2020 election. First, I think there's Trump fatigue - I just don't see as much support for him as I did in 2020, the age issue is going to bite him big, the convictions are going to have a bigger impact, and the simple fact that he is no longer president is going to all be a big factor. Vance is going to do him very little good in that demographic. I also think that Fox is having a hard time getting excited about him this time around, and that's going to have an impact.
