Incumbent President

Joe Biden
Democratic



The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.[1] Voters in each state and the District of Columbia will choose a slate of electors to the U.S. Electoral College, who will then elect a president and vice president for a term of four years.

Incumbent president Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, initially ran for re-election and became the party's presumptive nominee on March 12.[2][3] Biden did not face significant competition in the Democratic primaries, the largest being the Uncommitted movement, which protested Biden's handling of the Israel–Hamas war.[4] However, Biden's performance in the June 2024 presidential debate intensified concerns about his age and led to widespread calls within his party for him to leave the race.[5] He withdrew on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who launched her presidential campaign the same day.[6] Harris secured enough delegate endorsements to become the presumptive nominee the next day,[7] and became the party's official nominee on August 5.[8] Harris chose Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate the next day.[9] Biden's withdrawal makes him the first eligible incumbent president since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968 not to run for re-election, and the first ever to withdraw after securing enough delegates to win the nomination.[10] Harris is the first nominee who did not participate in the primaries as a presidential candidate since Hubert Humphrey, also in 1968.[11]

Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election for a second, non-consecutive term, after losing to Biden in the 2020 presidential election.[12] Trump also faced limited opposition in the Republican primaries, easily defeating moderate Nikki Haley.[13] He became the party's presumptive nominee on March 12.[3] Trump was nominated during the 2024 Republican National Convention on July 15 along with his running mate, Ohio senator JD Vance. Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has been criticized by legal experts, historians, and political scientists for invoking violent rhetoric and authoritarian statements.[14][15][16] During the campaign, Trump has repeatedly dehumanized those who he sees as his political enemies,[17][18][19][20][21][22] while also repeating false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from him, part of a broader election denial movement that has gained popularity among members of the far-right in the United States.[23] In civil and criminal proceedings, respectively, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023, defamation in 2024, and financial fraud in 2024, becoming the first former president to be convicted of a crime.[24]

The presidential election will take place at the same time as elections for the U.S. Senate, House, gubernatorial, and state legislatures. Key swing states include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.[25] Leading campaign issues are expected to be abortion,[26][27][28] border security and immigration,[29][30] climate change,[31][32] democracy,[33][34] the economy,[35] education,[36] foreign policy,[37] healthcare,[38] and LGBT rights.[39] This is the first election to feature veterans of the war on terror on either party ticket.[40] The winners of this election are scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, as the 47th president and 50th vice president of the United States, respectively.
