In January, Foreign Policy called 2024 “the year the world votes.” Seven of the 10 most populous countries were scheduled to head to the polls this year, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan. But in terms of global influence, there can be little argument that the most consequential election will take place in the United States on Nov. 5. From wars in the Middle East and Europe to competition with China, the next occupant of the White House could play a pivotal role in global affairs.

The upcoming 2024 election has sparked global interest, with many countries closely monitoring the outcome.

The results of this election could influence various global affairs, from conflicts in the Middle East and Europe to economic competition with China.

As the world watches and waits for the results of the 2024 election, the implications for international relations and policy decisions remain at the forefront of discussions among experts and policymakers worldwide.
