旁白: 2024年总统竞选初期与上一届相似，但随后发生了对特朗普的暗杀未遂事件、拜登退出竞选以及哈里斯成为民主党候选人等一系列戏剧性事件，使得竞选过程充满动荡和不确定性。最终民调显示，特朗普和哈里斯两人处于势均力敌的状态。 特朗普: 特朗普在竞选过程中强调让美国再次伟大，并提及自己遭遇的枪击事件，以此来争取选民的支持。同时，他还使用了分裂性言论，例如计划进行大规模驱逐出境，并试图将批判性种族理论和跨性别议题从学校中清除出去。 拜登: 拜登在与特朗普的辩论中表现不佳，导致民主党内要求他退出的呼声很高。最终，他因感染新冠病毒而退出竞选，并支持哈里斯成为民主党候选人。 哈里斯: 哈里斯在竞选过程中强调机会经济，并与特朗普形成鲜明对比，指出特朗普的经济计划只关注富人减税。她还利用特朗普关于海地移民的虚假言论，指责特朗普煽动暴力。 佩洛西: 佩洛西认为拜登应该自己决定是否继续竞选，这再次引发了关于拜登未来的辩论。 Vance: Vance在接受特朗普的邀请成为竞选伙伴后，表示自己将帮助特朗普拯救国家，并帮助他执政和赢得选举。 旁白: 本次2024年美国总统大选在短短几个月内从看似平淡无奇的翻版选举，转变为美国历史上最戏剧性、最富事件性、最出人意料的竞选。一系列的意外事件，包括对特朗普的多次暗杀未遂，以及拜登因感染新冠病毒而退出竞选，都使得这场选举充满了不确定性和悬念。最终，哈里斯和特朗普在民调中处于胶着状态，这场选举直到最后一刻都充满着戏剧性。
