The race for the White House gets underway with the kick-off in Iowa. It is more than likely that 2024 will bring back the challenge between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Despite the 91 charges brought against him, the former president seems destined to win the Republican nomination. However, various legal proceedings weigh on his electoral race, including the possible start on March 4 - the eve of Super Tuesday - of the trial for interference in the 2020 vote.
