Breitbart's Matt Boyle on the '24 Election

The 2024 presidential race has been packed with shocks, drama, and reversals.

On the Republican side we witnessed Democrat prosecutors indict Trump for numerous alleged crimes, only to have their cases fall apart. We saw the Secret Service commit a series of keystone cops-like errors that resulted in a nearly successful attempt on Trump’s life, followed by a second thwarted attempt at Trump International Golf Club in Florida. And we saw Trump select Ohio’s own JD Vance — a junior senator who once opposed his policies — to be his running mate.

On the Democrat side we saw Joe Biden deliver a devastatingly bad performance in the first presidential debate. We then saw Democrat party leaders coerce Biden to withdraw from the race, and then replace him with Kamala Harris, who was so unpopular during the 2020 presidential primary that she had to drop out the race early.

And we saw RFK, Jr., challenge Biden in the Democratic primary race, subsequently declare himself to be an independent candidate, and then ultimately suspend his own campaign and join the Trump campaign.

Where does the race stand as we head into its final month? Hours before the vice presidential debate, when Republican candidate JD Vance takes the stage to debate Democrat Tim Walz on October 1, we’ll get the scoop from Breitbart’s Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle, who has interviewed Donald Trump and JD Vance numerous times this election cycle and who has his finger on the pulse of the polls, the media (and its bias) and the momentum for each candidate.

ABOUT MATT BOYLE

Matt Boyle oversees Breitbart’s coverage of the Biden administration, including uncovering the corruption, scandals, and failure running rampant through the White House and government. He also leads Breitbart’s 2022 midterm election coverage, supervising efforts to vet candidates and track major stories in districts and states nationwide.

He joined Breitbart News Network just after the 2012 election, following a successful stint at the Daily Caller, where he broke stories on Fast and Furious and corruption in the State Department. Though not always a conservative – he voted for Obama in 2008 — Boyle began to lean right as he watched the way the media and political establishment treated the Tea Party. “I saw decent, honest people falsely accused of being racists,” he says. As he grew into his conservative chops, he withdrew from a Masters in Journalism program at American University, finding the professors, “too leftist.”

In 2015 Boyle assumed the role of political editor. His reporting and that of his team was essential reading for understanding the rise of Donald Trump, key ground-shifting deals such as the USMCA, the Middle East peace push, and overall accomplishments of the Trump presidency. As political editor and now as bureau chief, Boyle leads his team in exclusive interviews and narrative-setting reporting that elevates an agenda some in Washington hope to dodge — standing up to the Chinese Communist Party, reining in Big Tech, and fighting corruption in American politics, no matter which side of the aisle.

Boyle serves as radio host on Breitbart News Saturday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. Eastern, SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125. He’s also a weekly guest on America First with Sebastian Gorka, on podcastrepublic.net.
