Abstract: July 21, 2024, will take its place in the political history of the United States: President J. Biden withdrew from the presidential race for a second term and proposed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the list of candidates. The inevitability of changing the Democratic candidature in the midst of the campaign was driven by J. Biden’s evident fiasco in the "first" confrontation with a Republican rival, as well as his advanced age. The drama of the events reached its peak, and overnight, K. Harris gained a chance to become the leading contender for her party’s nomination. Academician G.A. Arbatov once wrote: "Politics is a resultant force that consists of many applied forces and factors" [12]. It was in this vein that the events of the 2024 presidential elections unfolded, where the intrigue of the winner remained until the very end.
