In his letter to the editor, Robert Hebert asserted that the key issue in the race for the presidency is the country's financial condition. He couldn't be more wrong. The key issue in the 2024 presidential election is whether we want to elect a man who tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election and steal that election from Joe Biden.
Without a shred of evidence, Donald Trump claimed and still claims that he won that election in spite of more than 60 courts ruling that there was no meaningful evidence of fraud or other wrongdoing which would have altered the results of the election. Trump encouraged the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol asserting the Big Lie about a stolen election, and he continues to lie to this day.
The fate of our democracy and the rule of law is at stake in 2024. Nothing could be clearer.
