I think Dems face an uphill battle largely due to the distribution of EV's, but I would just say 2024 is a long time away and a lot can change. The last time we had this high inflation was 1982. We also had 10% unemployment and were in a deep recession. 2 years later, Reagan won 49 states. Beyond that, economics don't drive Presidential elections as much as we think. Since at least Reagan, the more charismatic candidate has won every single Presidential election - economy and everything else be damned. (the one possible exception was Trump/Clinton, where neither was remotely charismatic) At this point, we don't know who's going to be on the ticket for either party.
What a complete and total freak show. America’s new Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition shows off their fierce pantsuit
I'm gonna need to see the data on that, does not smell right, most congressman are not getting book deals and making a lot of money on speeches.
Trump is very charismatic, it's his superpower and it's why he won. I agree that things can change a lot in 3 years.
They get them outside the term. Doesn't mean they can't give it another go and run again.

Tulsi's a looker so her mileage was different
Ok so most congressmen don't get that kind of money which is my point, you just metioned a president and a senator/first lady and a person who has attractiveness as a selling point. So these are outliers, not the norm.
Psshh you're misreading my post. That's Plan B. The longer they stay, the more favors they rack up. Most blow up their fortunes inside Congress with inside trades through stocks or real estate. Those are considered mostly legal (ethical is different) as long as you don't tell anyone else. Making trades that are directly impacted is harder to prove.

He's charismatic to his base, but hated by everyone else. Comparatively, even if you didn't agree with them, people on both sides of the aisle would love to have personally met Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc and had a drink with them or what not. Trump is just a weird anomaly all around, I guess.
He was charismatic to most before he became president, nobody else could have pulled off The Apprentice or have the fame he did in the 80's and 90's. Heck, even I was willing to give him a chance once elected because I thought most of it was an act to get elected and he would turn into moderate Trump, but he liked the accolades too much. He is definitely a weird anomaly.
I did not misread your post I responded to this. In theory, congressmen make that much over an average tenure. You are now trying to claim the perks come after office which is not during their tenure and not what happens to the average congressperson. In this post, you are saying MOST blow up their fortunes inside congress and again I am going to have to ask for data. I am not saying these things don't happen what I am saying is that this is not what happens to the average congressperson.
Brinton earned their bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (with nuclear engineering as an option) from Kansas State University, graduating in 2011. Thence to MIT, where Brinton completed a dual master of science degree in nuclear engineering and technology and policy. They graduated in 2013. But all you can see is how they wish to dress? Typical.
