Sunday marks 100 days until voters head to the polls for what has already been a tumultuous election, raising questions about what the next several months will hold in store.
In a span of less than a month, the presidential race has already been rocked by a series of head-spinning twists, including President Biden’s dismal debate performance, the assassination attempt against Donald Trump and Biden’s decision to withdraw and endorse Vice President Harris.
With Harris consolidating support from Democratic officials and delegates to likely become the party’s nominee, attention has mostly shifted to who she will select as her running mate.
Biden’s poor performance at what ended up being one of the most consequential presidential debates in U.S. history sparked a string of developments that caused Biden to step away from the race. While the Biden and Trump campaigns had already agreed to participate in a second debate in September on ABC, plans for that event or any others appear up in the air.
Throughout much of the 2024 cycle until the debate, polling between Trump and Biden remained largely stagnant. Just ahead of the debate, the two candidates were essentially tied in national polling, while Trump led by a couple points in the key battleground states that will likely decide the election.
As fast as Election Day is approaching, it is still more than three months away. Labor Day, the traditional marker of races reaching their final sprint, hasn’t even arrived yet. As chaotic as the past month has been, it’s not inconceivable that more could still happen to change what defines the 2024 election.
