Armenian Americans and the 2024 US Presidential Elections

When it comes to the two major presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, their records are pretty dismal. In fact, some would say that their records have been inimical to Armenia.

During Trump’s term, the United States continued to provide military aid to Azerbaijan. Trump continued to waive Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act until the start of the 2020 war. Trump was unable or unwilling to deter Turkey, a NATO member, from directly participating in the 2020 war, which was a decisive factor in Azerbaijan’s criminal war.

Presidential Candidates

When it comes to the two major presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, their records are pretty dismal.

Questions:

What’s your assessment of Harris and Trump?
What’s the ANCA’s guidance on how to vote for president?

There are other candidates on the presidential ballot, like the Green Party’s Jill Stein, a perennial presence, sort of like a modern day Ralph Nader.

Armenian American Priorities in the 2024 US Elections

The Democratic and Republican national conventions have come and gone with great pomp and circumstance, and we now know the major candidates vying for the presidency of the United States: Donald Trump & JD Vance on the Republican side, vs Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on the Democrat side.

Aram, up until president Biden’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide, and then Congress’s near unanimous affirmation, the top Armenian-American priority in advocating for our causes was recognition of the Genocide.
