The Spin

While the case against Trump should be disqualifying, voting in favor of Harris also means better policy when it comes to the economy, foreign policy, immigration, and a multitude of other issues. Harris has promised to legislate from a position of consensus, including the voices of conservatives and Republicans, while Trump is a threat to the rule of law and the health of capitalism.

It's easy to vote Trump over Harris when you compare their track records, as Trump's presidency brought a robust economy, while Harris has been part of an administration that created rampant inflation. The Southern border was more restricted under Trump, but Harris' administration let illegals enter unfettered. The mainstream media may side with his opponents in framing him in a negative light, but in the end Trump was and will be a strong president.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 52% chance that Harris will be elected US president in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
