The 2024 presidential election will be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, confirmed by the party primaries which are completed earlier than usual. One candidate is so far ahead that he has skipped early debates, while Americans have to wait until the end of March or beyond to know who the challenger is likely to be. The Republican primary could effectively be finished by the end of February, and attention will shift from Mr Trump the candidate to his federal trial for attempting to overturn the 2020 election, which starts on March 4th. His campaign will use this timing to portray cases against him as a left-wing plot to prevent him from winning a second term and invite backers to vote for him and donate to his legal fund as an act of defiance. Mr Trump's favourite political technique is to turn whatever he stands accused of back against his accusers, while he is actually on trial in a federal court for undermining American democracy.

The U.S. government can achieve great things quickly when it has to and that Operation Warp Speed, an initiative announced by the Trump administration in 2021, belongs in the pantheon of U.S. innovation triumphs along with the Manhattan Project and the Apollo moon-landing program. It also challenges the narrative that public institutions have lost their ability to dream big and move fast despite recent history where many efforts to upgrade the nation's transportation systems faltered, NASA's latest mega-rocket launched in 2022 six years behind schedule, and China launching a hypersonic missile designed to evade traditional air defenses.

Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party's presidential candidacy. He has been America's oldest president since he took office and most Americans disapprove of him. The Democrats are not guaranteed to nominate him until he wins the support of a majority of party delegates at their convention in August 2020, but his campaigning machinery gives him an advantage over potential challengers like Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips, who are currently running against him.

China will pursue two contradictory goals in 2024, which are (1) to rally a bloc of countries skeptical of an American-dominated world order and (2) to present itself as a defender of global unity. While pursuing the first goal, Chinese leaders will accuse America and its allies of stoking a new cold war and erecting protectionist barriers to free trade. In service of their second goal, they will call China an upholder of the status quo and supporter of WTO rules that opened rich-world markets to China after its accession in 2001. However, these twin messages may blur at times when Chinese leaders offer cooperation on global goods, only if America and allies stop hostile acts such as condemning Chinese actions.
