Abstract

With tensions rising between the Democratic and Republican parties of America as the 2024 presidential election approaches, I attempted to predict the outcome of the election by applying the rules of Terror Management Theory. In order to gather the information needed to reach my conclusion, I reviewed scholarly research collected from Google Scholar and explored the opinions of American civilians as reported on news and social media sites. I investigated Terror Management Theory and its possible relationship to politics, and the “right-shift,” or switch to more conservative values, present in voters who are made salient of their mortalities. Ultimately, the evidence gathered supports the notion that a right-wing candidate will emerge victorious from the 2024 presidential election.
