How a tiny town hit by Helene could upend the global semiconductor chip industry
It is likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will play a pivotal role in the 2024 election as its composition and rulings could have a profound effect on the outcome. The court currently has an even number of justices (nine) and with some justices being senior citizens, potential retirements or death could leave a vacancy. Under President Joe Biden’s term, replacements for those vacancies would most likely have more liberal leanings. This could potentially affect the future of Roe V. Wade, as well as a number of other social and economic issues that would be litigated during the election. There is also the potential for the court to rule on cases like the 2020 election, which could influence who is determined to be the president. No matter what, the Supreme Court and its justices will continue to be a major player in the 2024 election.
