Qy's Prediction for the 2024 Election

+4
THIS IS AN OLD PREDICTION. TO SEE MY MOST RECENT ONE, PLEASE SEE HERE.

Well, it's 2023, and you know what that means. Time to start speculating on next year's election. I've decided to jump aboard and try my hand at it, myself. Here's what I think will happen:

- Biden will become even more unpopular, and the Democrats will pick Newsom for their candidate.

- Similarly, the bad press surrounding Trump will lead to Republicans to pick DeSantis.

- Trump, outraged at this, will go third-party, and host a bunch of rallies to get the train moving again.

Well, that's enough introduction. Onto the map!

Gavin Newsom

Democratic

Home state: California

Former occupation: Governor of California

Electoral votes: 314

Ron DeSantis

Republican

Home state: Florida

Former occupation: Governor of Florida

Electoral votes: 121

Donald Trump

Patriot

Home state: Florida

Former occupation: President of the United States

Electoral votes: 103

As you can see, the Republican split cracked the vote and gave Democrats an easy victory.

So, what did you think? Did you agree, disagree? Leave a comment below to let me know what you thought. You can make an electoral map for yourself here.

Thanks for reading!

This is my first time trying to seriously predict an election, so it's unlikely to age well. Whatever the case, I had a lot of fun making this, and encourage you to make your own.

It sucks that I have to live in a state that voted twice for that orange sack of garbage.

You’ve got Texas voting for Newsom? Is that because of the Trump/DeSantis split?

Ye. Even without the split, the state is still moving left-wing. Heck, in 2020, most sources listed it as either a toss-up or leaning Republican.

He just… is. Low approval ratings, bad handling of the economy, and all that stuff. He only won because people were sick of Trump.

Ah I see.. that's interesting!

We'll be having elections in India too and it seems Modi will have a landslide victory once again.

Lots of elections in 2024.. India, Indonesia, US, Mexico and Russia, though last one seems questionable.

yeah Brazil is totally at risk of not having elections now that the social democrat stopped that fascist insurrection attempt.

I’d be worried about my democracy if the losing party’s supporters tried to use violence and intimidation to take power.

Is Biden a bad president? Not in my opinion.

Is he a good president? Not in my opinion.

I don't think he's really doing severe damage to the country but I don't think he's very effective either. We need an effective BLUE president. Get Biden and Trump away from the Oval Office, they are much too old as it is.

If a red president'll be effective, I support them. Partisanism is no good.

I reckon Biden's still gonna be the candidate unless he dies/has a major health scare that makes him resign.

Personally, I think he's too old. We need new, younger candidates, no older than 50.

This vote-cracking spoiler effect is why we need ranked choice voting.

NC voted for Trump by 1 in '20; it'll be Safe Dem in 2024, regardless of the circumstances. Nevada and Arizona easily go blue as well. Ohio, Iowa, (maybe Missouri and Kansas) will probably go blue by lower margins. Lastly, I don't understand why Michigan would be Likely R; probably Biden by 10+.

The main point I would like to send out is that the GOP base is very conflicted on the candidates, and should an election like this happen, DeSantis would probably get ~65% to Trump's ~35% of the vote in a hypothetical matchup. The rust belt would be Trump's support base. I would also like to point out that the most likely scenario is that Biden wins the Democratic nomination, while Trump wins the Republican nomination; I'm no Republican, but you can't conclude that DeSantis will be the nominee merely due to the party's elite and powerful supporting DeSantis, as, afterall, Trump did win in 2016.
