As with every presidential election, the coming 2024 contest will have high stakes. One of the unique stakes will be the president's role in major sporting events to be held in the United States.
For the first time since Bill Clinton, a U.S. president will oversee a World Cup and an Olympics hosted domestically during the four-year term beginning in 2025.The 2026 World Cup is the first of the two major sporting events that will happen in the U.S., with the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles coming two years later.
The advantage the World Cup will have over the Olympics is that games will be played across the country, from Los Angeles to New York to Miami, allowing the president to choose a strategically helpful city electorally if he or she will be running for reelection. Philadelphia, Miami, and Atlanta, all located in swing states, will be hosting matches for the World Cup.
If the president opts out of opening the games, the task will go to the vice president for the first time since the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Then-Vice President Walter Mondale opened those games after President Jimmy Carter declined.
