Right now, the 2024 presidential election is as close to a toss up as it can get. According to poll site 538, former president Trump has consistently had the edge on incumbent President Biden dating back to March, but the margin between the two, which right now is just 2%, has never been very far apart. A president’s influence on transportation is felt from many directions, including labor policies, emissions regulations and even heads of departments that oversee trucking and its ruleset; like the Department of Transportation.
