An Interview on the 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections with Dr. Joshua Scacco

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election is being shaped by various socio-political dynamics inherited from previous elections. The path to the election is drawing attention to critical issues such as social media, societal polarization, candidate image, and election security.
Donald Trump’s criticism of social media platforms during the 2020 election, the subsequent spread of misinformation, and the measures taken by these platforms to counter it are emerging as crucial topics for the 2024 election. The mass protests following the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack highlighted the polarization within American society. Social media platforms have become significant communication tools for both Democratic and Republican voters. The extent of societal polarization leading up to the 2024 election and how this will impact the election results is a matter of great curiosity.
In the 2024 election, presidential candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden face various image issues. Trump is grappling with ongoing legal proceedings, while Biden frequently encounters criticism regarding his age. These image issues directly affect the candidates’ connections with voters and the impact of their campaigns. The candidates’ efforts to enhance their strategic communication methods and strengthen their bonds with voters are emerging as vital components of the election process.
