Las Vegas/Columbus: It isn’t just Americans who care — countries around the world are watching the 2024 presidential election race and trying to determine what the outcome will mean for them.
Yet the US voters are the decision makers. Their concerns and challenges will lead to decision-making.
The 2024 presidential election will echo through the economy, social issues, climate policy and geopolitics. Inflation, economic matters and jobs have remained steady as top priorities, while immigration is also seen as a notable uptick in importance among voters.
A survey conducted in February 2024 by Statista found that the most important issue for 20 percent of Americans was inflation and prices. A further 11 percent of respondents were most concerned about jobs and the economy.
A considerable number of voters also consider Foreign Policy as a key issue in the election. The foreign policy endorsed by each of the presidential candidates plays a huge role in garnering votes and public support.
