"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party... to defeat Donald Trump... And together, we will win."

"This is a race Democrats can and must win."

"If the Democrats can be unified... then they have a good chance to win in November."

"I’d be very wary and a bit cautious on assuming that Trump is just going to sail to victory."

"Donald Trump’s hopes of claiming the White House just went from near certain to extremely uncertain" now Biden has dropped out.

"This kind of chaos this close to Election Day means Trump is going to win."

"It doesn’t matter whom the Democrats pick... Donald Trump will win in November."

"Donald Trump is now the de facto president."

"If the 2024 presidential election is a race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris then Trump will win, every time, and most likely win easily."

"Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been."

Who Will Win the 2024 US Presidential Election?

With the Nov. 5 presidential election less than three weeks away, courts in Nebraska, Alabama, and Georgia this week loosened voting restrictions, many of which were passed after former Pres Donald Trump, the current Republican presidential nominee, falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged against him.

In Alabama, a US district judge ruled in favor of the US Justice Department and civil rights groups who sued over Republican Secretary of State Wes Allen's program to remove "noncitizens" registered to vote in that state.

The judge agreed this violated a federal law barring systemic removal of names from the rolls within 90 days of a federal election.

Meanwhile, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that Republican Secretary of State Bob Evnen lacks the power to declare unconstitutional a law that restores voting rights to people convicted of a felony.

In addition, a judge in Fulton County, Ga., temporarily blocked a rule allowing election boards to refuse certifying election results and requiring hand counting of ballots.

One day later, a Fulton Superior Court judge struck down those rules and others, calling them "illegal, unconstitutional, and void."
