78-year-old ex-president's final chance might reshape American politics

The 2024 election brings unusual twist - with Joe Biden stepping aside Kamala Harris finds herself in half-incumbent position (dealing with both benefits and drawbacks of current administration)

The vice-president tries to show herself as fresh voice while highlighting administrations wins; however she gets lots of blame for border issues and economic problems. Its hard to say if this mixed status helps or hurts her chances

Voters face interesting choice: they might see this as review of Biden-Harris work - which could be problem since approval numbers are super-low; or they might think about choosing between two options which makes things harder for Donald Trump

The ex-president isnt exactly new face in politics: he got party nomination way back in 2016‚ and now at 78 years old with bunch of court-cases hanging over him this might be his last try. If he loses Republican party could see big changes - while Trump probably wont just go away another defeat would make it super-hard for him or his supporters to keep control of partys future path
