2024 Presidential Election

The 2024 United States presidential election, scheduled for November 5, will be the 60th quadrennial election. Initially, incumbent President Joe Biden sought re-election but withdrew in July, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic nominee.

Former President Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination and is running for a non-consecutive second term. The election, which coincides with other major federal and state races, will focus on key issues like abortion, immigration, and the economy, with crucial swing states likely determining the outcome.
