Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States (2017–2021), successfully contested the 2024 U.S. presidential election. He announced his campaign on November 15, 2022, initially battling for the Republican Party's nomination. While many candidates challenged the former President for the nomination, they never managed to amass enough support to dethrone him, leading him to a landslide victory in the 2024 Iowa caucuses. Thereafter, he became the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. Trump was officially nominated on July 15, 2024, at the Republican National Convention, where he announced Ohio senator JD Vance as the nominee for vice president. The two initially faced off against the presumptive Democratic Party ticket of incumbent president Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris. However, on July 21, 2024, Biden withdrew from the race. Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee, with Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate.

Trump's agenda was branded as populist and nationalist. It pledged sweeping tax cuts, a protectionist trade policy, greater federal oversight over education,^[a] more extensive use of fossil fuels, an "America First" foreign policy, an expansion of presidential authority, a reduction of federal regulations, mass deportation of illegal immigrants,^[b] stricter law enforcement, an end to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and a rollback of transgender rights. While the campaign's official platform was Agenda 47, it was closely connected to The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a playbook recommending an authoritarian, rigidly conservative state. In fact, many of Trump's campaign proposals were deemed authoritarian.

Trump's divisive, incendiary rhetoric drew immense media coverage. Characterized as populist, nationalist, Christian nationalist, nativist, and even fascist,^[c] it centered on disinformation, conspiracies, and fearmongering. Denying the legitimacy of elections and warning of supposed ruinous migrant crime were key talking points of his. Trump sought to establish himself as a political martyr who had been targeted by the political and media establishment, and that his campaign was one of vindication and a triumph of good over evil.

On the campaign trail, Trump faced numerous legal actions, culminating in four indictments and a criminal conviction. His campaign therefore faced a severe funding shortage. Court cases also arose concerning the former President's eligibility to run again in the aftermath of January 6, which were eventually resolved. Trump survived two assassination attempts in 2024. Many commentators state that these setbacks, unprecedented in American history, helped Trump's public image.

On November 5, 2024, Trump and Vance were elected president and vice president, winning all seven swing states for a decisive but not landslide victory. The campaign's success was attributed to a distinct appeal to urban, working-class voters, as well as young male voters, a broad racial coalition, an effective media presence, and an airing of the public's sociopolitical/socioeconomic grievances.
