November 5, 2024, will be a very important day in U.S. history. Voters in the United States will go to the polls to cast ballots in elections on the federal, state, and local levels—including for president and Congress—and, in doing so, will help decide the nation’s future. In an era when an overwhelming amount of disinformation exists to cloud the judgment of many American voters during election seasons, students and patrons researching the candidates and their positions need access to trustworthy, regularly updated data to stay on top of what’s really happening. While this is true of every election, it is exceptionally true of this one as multiple major new developments and incidents—from assassination attempts to a presidential candidate stepping down—have happened within just a few short days of each other. What will happen next? If researchers at your institution are following the 2024 election, point them toward the go-to resource for context and background on key issues and events in the news for more than 80 years—World News Digest.
