Jim Rickards, a former CIA advisor and economic analyst, is ringing alarm bells about the potential fallout of the 2024 election, especially if Kamala Harris takes the Democratic nomination. Rickards is predicting a full-blown “election meltdown” if Harris rises to power. According to him, we could see a financial crash, civil unrest, and even the breakdown of the U.S. dollar. His argument? Harris’s leadership combined with the Democrats’ internal chaos could ignite a constitutional crisis that makes 2020 look like a cakewalk.
Rickards is no stranger to accurate predictions—he called the 2008 financial crisis and Trump’s 2016 win, so when he says the 2024 election could lead to economic disaster and societal chaos, people are taking notice. He believes Biden’s withdrawal from the race and Harris’s ascent could trigger massive instability, worsened by efforts from the establishment to block Trump’s return to power. In Rickards’ view, all of this could lead to riots, martial law, and a 50% stock market crash.
Rickards is urging Americans to prepare now, warning that waiting until after the election could be too late. He suggests practical steps like moving money into safe-haven assets, fortifying homes against unrest, and dumping risky investments. In other words, buckle up—Rickards sees a perfect storm brewing, with Kamala Harris right at the center of it.
Rickards’ stark warning serves as a reality check for those who think the 2024 election will be just another election. He’s sounding the alarm for anyone willing to listen. It’s clear that, in his view, Harris’s leadership could lead the country down a very dangerous path.
