Editing United States Presidential Election (section)

=== Key Issues Shaping the Election ===
Several major issues are expected to define the 2024 United States Presidential Election. These issues are central to the political divide in the country and will play a crucial role in how voters make their decisions.

# '''The Economy''': As always, economic policy is at the forefront of the election. Rising inflation, interest rates, job growth, and wage stagnation are major concerns for voters. Democrats argue for continued federal spending to support economic recovery, while Republicans advocate for tax cuts and deregulation to stimulate growth.
# '''Healthcare''': Access to affordable healthcare remains a key issue. The Biden administration has pushed to expand the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), while Republican candidates favor a more market-driven approach, with some advocating for repealing or reducing the scope of Obamacare.
# '''Climate Change''': Climate policy is another significant issue. Biden has prioritized climate action, including rejoining the Paris Agreement and passing legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Republicans have varying positions, with some candidates expressing skepticism toward aggressive climate policies, favoring energy independence and economic growth over environmental regulations.
# '''Immigration''': Immigration has been a contentious issue, particularly regarding border security and pathways to citizenship. Biden’s policies have aimed to reverse many of Trump’s hardline immigration policies. However, issues such as border control and the status of undocumented immigrants continue to divide the electorate.
# '''Abortion Rights''': The '''Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade''' has made abortion rights a central issue in the 2024 election. Democrats are pushing for federal legislation to protect abortion access, while Republicans, particularly conservative candidates, are in favor of state-level restrictions or bans.
# '''Voting Rights and Election Integrity''': After the contentious 2020 election and Trump's claims of widespread fraud (which were widely debunked), election integrity remains a focal point. Republicans have pushed for stricter voter ID laws and changes to voting procedures, while Democrats are advocating for expanded voting rights to ensure broader access to the polls.
# '''Foreign Policy''': U.S. foreign relations, particularly with China, Russia, and NATO allies, are critical areas of focus. Biden’s administration has supported aid to Ukraine during the ongoing war with Russia, while Republicans debate the extent of U.S. involvement in international conflicts, with some leaning toward a more isolationist stance.
