Hurricane Helene

Any reason why Hurricane Helene ain’t mentioned in the tropical cyclones disaster list section; especially given the fact that Milton is? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 01:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opening section

The entire opening section of this reads horribly. Someone should fix it. 2601:243:1780:3043:710C:1C24:E7F2:551B (talk) 09:49, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorist Attacks

Should 2025 New Orleans truck attack Be labeled as a terrorist attack in the terrorist attacks section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:37A0:6AF0:583C:2FB3:ED43:4E8C (talk) 01:04, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Electoral trends

I think the electoral trends section needs some work. I'm not sure if their characterization of the early 2020s is accurate, and it's certainly not well sourced. The section also doesn't really talk about the wave of anti-incumbent sentiment that's been so widely discussed. CatoTheWiseAss (talk) 01:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
