2024 was a landmark year in American politics, with a presidential campaign that saw unprecedented twists and turns and culminated in the most stunning electoral comeback in modern history. In this special end-of-year edition of Morning Wire, we're going to take a step back to look at the bigger picture, as what was once breaking news makes its way into the history books.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Sunday, December 29th, and this is your Morning Wire Year in Review.
There's no obligation, only information from Birch Gold.
Looking back, unprecedented might be the word of the year for 2024. Donald Trump was reelected to the presidency after a narrow defeat in 2020, becoming the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms and the first in more than 100 years. For the first time in American history, a major presidential candidate was convicted on felony charges.
The other major candidate, Joe Biden, dropped out of the race less than a month before his party's convention. And the future of that political party is now totally up in the air. Joining us to discuss all of this is Daily Wire researcher and contributor Michael Whitaker. So, Michael, let's start at the beginning. How did we get here?
That is an excellent question, certainly one the Democratic Party is going to be asking itself for a long time. But it's worth remembering that not too long ago, the Republicans were the ones in the political doghouse.

A party autopsy suggested that to win over new voters, the Republican Party would need to double down on fiscal conservatism, but moderate its stances on social issues, especially immigration.
Well, that unbeatable coalition somewhat evaporated, it sounds like.
