1,451 Days

It has been 1,451 days since the last presidential election and in that time there has been an attack by Trump supporters on the capitol, a botched withdrawal from a 20-year war, the end of Roe v Wade, decade-high levels of inflation, the growing crisis at the border, war in Europe and the Middle East, multiple assassination attempts, and the decision of the incumbent president to withdraw from the campaign.  Now, in eleven days, Americans will select the president for the first time since all of that happened.
