The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election. The election is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, along with other state and federal elections. It will be the first presidential election to use population information from the 2020 census.^[1]

President Joe Biden originally ran for reelection to a second term and became the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee, but ended his campaign on July 21, 2024. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.^[2]

Former President Donald Trump has also announced he is running for reelection to a non-consecutive term. If he wins, he will be the first to do this since Grover Cleveland in 1892.

Environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running as an independent. Polling suggests that he could be the best-performing third party presidential candidate since Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 or Ross Perot in 1992. If he wins, he will be the first Independent to win a presidential election since George Washington in 1792.

The winner of the 2024 presidential election will be inaugurated on January 20, 2025.
