CMC Connects: 2024

 Unusual aspects of 2024:

• Biden is the oldest-ever major candidate. Trump is close behind.
• Trump seeks to be the first former president since Cleveland to regain the White House.
• Trump is the first major-party candidate to run while under indictment.  There was a minor-party candidate who got a million votes while in prison
• The nomination phase came to a very early close.

Polls suggest a close race -- but early polls are not a reliable guide

Five ways Biden could lose:

1.  Economic crisis

2.  Another pandemic or crisis that goes bad

3.  Scandal

4.  Spoiler

5.  Age and Health:  see what Biden was like in 2012

Two ways Trump could lose:

1.  Age and health
