With the midterm elections past, a lot more attention is being directed toward the 2024 presidential election. With 2023 right around the corner, the next White House race is closer than it may appear.

Currently, a lot of speculation exists as to whether or not 2024 will end up being a 2.0 version of the 2020 presidential election.

Former President Trump already declared his candidacy for the GOP nomination; meanwhile, Joe Biden continues to publicly toy with the possibility of seeking a second term.

Quite frankly, neither one of them should secure the nominations of their respective parties. It is time for a generational leadership change; furthermore, America deserves better than both Trump and Biden.

The writing on the wall

A CNBC poll from just earlier this month reveals most Americans do not want either the current or former president running in 2024.

In the case of Trump, 61% of the country does not favor his current campaign for the White House. Meanwhile, a staggering 70% of the nation disagrees with Biden running for a second term.

Unfit for office

Despite being on opposite sides of the political spectrum, both Donald Trump and Joe Biden remain woefully unfit for office.

For starters, both men are in their 70s or 80s. If Trump secured a second term in office, he would be about 82 by the time it ended. If Biden won another term, he'd be roughly 86 at its end.

America has an age bar of 35 that one must reach before they are eligible to run for office. It is high time this country put in place an age cap on those wishing to seek the presidency as well.

Aside from the age factor, both Trump and Biden are horrendous on policy issues.

Not even two years ago, Biden tried to force nearly every single American to take a COVID-19 vaccine or lose their jobs. Biden tried this despite the fact that these vaccines do not prevent transmission, infection, or symptoms.

Meanwhile, Trump is unleashing increasingly deranged rants on Truth Social. One of the latest rants endorses the "termination" of the United States Constitution simply because the 2020 election did not go his way.

Let's also not forget that during Trump's term in office, he embraced lockdowns and mainstreamed Anthony Fauci.

America's decision

At the end of the day, the American people will have the final say on who wins the GOP and Democratic presidential nominations. Though both sides would do well to heed polls that track where most of the electorate stands today.

In the case of Republicans, going with a nominee like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a much better decision than nominating Trump.

The former president is turning off more and more voters by the hour; meanwhile, the electorate already showed its exasperation with Trumpism and MAGA via rejection of Trump's handpicked 2022 midterm candidates.
