2024 Election

Dreading November? Feeling unheard by the candidates running for office this year? We get it. An intense feeling of déjà vu hangs over the presidential campaigns, in which the overwhelming favorites for the Democratic and Republican nominations are familiar faces. But while the front-runners remain the same, the stakes have changed: Since the 2020 election, we have lost the constitutional right to an abortion and seen a record number of legislative attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. The Cut will be your 2024 election survival guide, breaking down what the biggest campaign-trail developments really mean and helping you make sense of what is sure to be a chaotic year.
