What Could be the Game-Changing ‘October Surprise’ in the Run-Up to the 2024 Election?

By Ekaterina Blinova

 

As October draws to a close, one might wonder whether the much-talked-about ‘October surprise’, a game-changer in the run-up to Election Day, really did occur.
Sputnik has picked up on key events which could crucially influence the 2024 race:

Iran’s strike on Israel on October 1, followed by Tel Aviv’s retaliatory raid on October 26, has once again underscored the waning influence of the United States in the Middle East. Furthermore, it highlights the Biden-Harris administration’s inability to iron out the escalating tensions in the region.

Kwiatkowski assumed that neither the missile exchange between Iran and Israel nor the Ukraine crisis or other overseas events have had an impact on Americans, who “don’t pay attention to foreign policy…, don’t really care… [and] not impacted by it personally.”
By contrast, rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s sex trafficking case has made some splash, since “the P. Diddy thing is quite interesting, it will implicate many people,” the former Pentagon analyst noted…
