At GRIPS Forum on October 16, 2023, Mr. Tatsuhiko Yoshizaki, Chief Economist, Sojitz Research Institute, Ltd., gave a lecture titled “Toward the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election”.

Abstract:

It is never "too early" to start thinking about the next U.S. presidential election. With a little over a year to go, the next presidential election will be held on November 5 next year. The outcome will have a tremendous impact not only on the United States, but on the entire world. At this point, the most likely outcome is a repeat of the 2020 showdown between incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump; let us analyze what will happen in the 2024 election.
