The Republican primary race for president in 2024

The Republican primary race for president in 2024 is already shaping up to be a competitive one. There are a number of high-profile candidates who have already announced their intention to run, and more are expected to join the field in the coming months.

The frontrunner for the nomination is former President Donald Trump. Trump has been teasing a 2024 run for months, and he has a large and loyal following among Republican voters. However, he is also a polarizing figure, and his candidacy could alienate some moderate Republicans.

Another potential contender for the nomination is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis has been praised by many conservatives for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his opposition to vaccine mandates. He is also seen as a rising star in the Republican Party.

Other potential candidates include former Vice President Mike Pence, former Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Senator Tim Scott. Pence is a more traditional Republican who could appeal to moderate voters. Haley is a woman of color who could help the party expand its appeal to minority voters. Scott is also a black Republican who could help the party appeal to minority voters.

The Republican primary race is likely to be dominated by issues such as inflation, immigration, and the economy. Republicans will be looking for a candidate who can articulate a clear vision for the future and who can defeat President Biden in the general election.

It is still too early to say who will win the Republican nomination in 2024. The race is likely to be close, and it will be interesting to see how the candidates position themselves on the key issues facing the country.

Here are some of the key factors that could influence the outcome of the Republican primary:

  • Trump's popularity: If Trump remains popular among Republican voters, he will be the clear frontrunner for the nomination. However, if his popularity declines, other candidates may have a chance to emerge.
  • DeSantis's rise: DeSantis has been gaining in popularity among Republicans, and he could challenge Trump for the nomination. However, he is still relatively untested on a national stage.
  • The economy: The economy is likely to be a major issue in the Republican primary. Candidates who can offer a clear plan to address inflation and other economic challenges will have an advantage.
  • The candidates' positions on key issues: Republicans will be looking for a candidate who shares their values and who can articulate a clear vision for the future. Candidates who can connect with voters on key issues such as immigration, healthcare, and education will have an advantage.

The Republican primary race in 2024 is likely to be one of the most closely watched and competitive races in recent history. It will be interesting to see who emerges as the nominee and who challenges President Biden in the general election.

Ministers rubbish notion that proposed retirement age extension to favour ‘one particular institution’

Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Tuesday rubbished the notion that a proposed extension in the retirement age was to favour “one particular institution”, adding that the move would be implemented across the board if approved. The rebuttal comes in the wake of media reports claiming that the government was mulling changes to the Constitution to fix the tenure of the chief justice . Currently, judges of the Supreme Court, including the chief justice, retire after attaining the age of superannuation, i.e. 65 years, as stipulated in Article 179 of the Constitution. While giving his opinion recently on the reports of the constitutional amendment, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar had said he “will not vehemently turn down the proposals related to the tenure of the chief justice”. Addressing the issue during a press conference in Islamabad today along since Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and the law minister, Attaullah said the extension in the retirement age was “a proposal to a...

In pictures: Grief in Gaza and the loss of a child

In the photo, the woman cradles a child in her arms, balanced on her knee. It is an image that resonates, as ancient as human history. But in a grim inversion of the familiar, we see that the child she holds close is a corpse, wrapped in a shroud. It is a quiet moment of intense grief. The woman wears a headscarf and her head is bowed. We cannot see who she is nor can we learn anything about the child — not even if it is a boy or girl. Palestinian woman Inas Abu Maamar, 36, embraces the body of her 5-year-old niece Saly, who was killed in an Israeli strike, at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, October 17, 2023. The child is one of many who have lost their lives on both sides in the Israel-Hamas war. Most have names we will never know, whose deaths will spark a lifetime of grief for family members we will never meet. In the 21st century, an average of almost 20 children a day have been killed or maimed in wars around the world, according to Unicef. Reuter...
