As the 2024 United States presidential election approaches, the stakes are high, and America stands divided, according to one political analyst.&quot;America is divided into two tribes. Neither tribe trusts the other tribe. They&#x27;re very suspicious of the motives. They think the other side wants to destroy the kind of America that they love,&quot; said Darrell M. West, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and Douglas Dillon Chair in Governmental Studies.With the economy traditionally being a critical factor in elections, West said that while there has been a slight increase in manufacturing jobs, overall economic well-being in Midwestern states lags behind the coasts. Despite a low unemployment rate, many individuals feel the economy is not working in their favor, fueling anxiety about the future.West identified key issues favoring each party. For Republicans, it&#x27;s &quot;immigration policy... On the Democratic side, abortion and reproductive rights in general,&quot; he said.The race between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump remains tight, with Harris currently holding a slight lead.&quot;This race will stay close until the very end, probably it&#x27;s going to come down to one or two crucial swing states,&quot; said West.Trump faces Harris in the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.<div>(Production: Roselle Chen)</div>
