Larry Sabato Crystal Ball: 2024 President
Divisions Deepen on Abortion Legislation
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that had legalized abortion nationwide. This decision has had a profound impact on the political landscape in the United States, with both sides of the abortion debate becoming more entrenched in their positions.
In a recent interview, Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said that the overturning of Roe v. Wade has "intensified" the divisions in the country. He said that the issue of abortion is now "more salient" than ever before, and that it is likely to be a major factor in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

He said that the outcome of the election will have a major impact on the future of the country, and that it is important for voters to be informed about the issues and the candidates.
Sabato said that he believes the Democratic nominee will be either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. He said that Biden is the more likely nominee, but that Harris is a "strong contender" who could win the nomination if Biden decides not to run.
On the Republican side, Sabato said that he believes the nominee will be either former President Donald Trump or Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He said that Trump is the favorite, but that DeSantis is a "rising star" who could challenge Trump for the nomination.
