Greetings. Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast for Tuesday, January the 24th, 2024.

Whom should we blame for the confusing state of American politics? Christians. But not for the reasons you might think.

Donald Trump won last night's New Hampshire Republican primary.

This is good news for his campaign in a variety of ways.

only a handful of ex-presidents to run for the

office again, and only Grover Cleveland did so successfully. On the other side, President Biden wasn't

on the printed ballot, but he still won the Democratic primary. He wanted South Carolina to

hold the first primary, but New Hampshire refused to move its election,

so Mr. Biden's campaign chose to not participate. However, his supporters staged a right-in effort

that secured his victory. Does this mean that Mr. Biden's path to the nomination is secure?

Not exactly. Two-thirds of Democrat-leaning voters do not want him to be the party's nominee.

At 81, he is the oldest person ever to hold the presidency, though Mr. Trump was the second oldest.

On average, U.S. presidents are 55 years old when sworn in.

Mr. Biden trails Mr. Trump in the latest polls 47% to 42%. And there's this.
