Biden vs. Trump? A Third Party? Your 2024 Election Questions, Answered: The Run-Up

So today, with some of our most trusted colleagues on the Times Politics team, we talk through all of the hypotheticals: What happens in the case of a health emergency? How about a criminal conviction? Could this be the year that a third-party candidate breaks through? Or is it too late?

Do you have a question you want us to answer? Nothing is out of bounds. We’re game for everything from the existential (Will democracy survive?) to the more trivial (Do celebrity endorsements make a difference?). Email and tell us what you’re curious about, ideally in the form of a voice memo, at therunup@nytimes.com.
