After weathering three lackluster election performances, Republicans are starting to gear up for the next election in an effort to reverse their political fortunes.
This week, the GOP's 2024 primary field is expected to grow larger with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's major announcement on Wednesday. As the party continues to mobilize for the presidential cycle that's less than two years away, here are five advantages that could boost the GOP's 2024 election prospects.Perhaps the greatest structural advantage the GOP has heading into the election is the outlook for Senate races.
Although it is still early, preliminary race ratings from the nonpartisan Cook Political Report indicate that there are three toss-up Senate races in 2024: Arizona, West Virginia, and Ohio. Meanwhile, there are five seats that"lean Democratic:" Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.Since President Joe Biden assumed the presidency, he has been dogged by criticisms about the economy.
Some uncertainty over energy still lingers as well, as repercussions from the war in Ukraine continue to ripple supply chains and the OPEC+ oil cartel refrains from ramping up production. Polling indicates that the public is skeptical of the Republican investigations and perturbed that the inquiries will turn into a political smoke screen. But the looming onslaught of investigations leaves open the possibility that the GOP will dig up something politically damaging against Democrats.
But Biden is also the incumbent and, therefore, likely to bear the blame for the nation's troubles in 2024. Furthermore, Republicans are careening toward an open primary contest, giving them an opportunity to nominate a candidate with less political baggage.
