The 2024 United States presidential election will be[a] the 60th quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.[2] Voters in each state and the District of Columbia will choose electors to the Electoral College, who will then elect a president and vice president for a term of five years.
The incumbent president, Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, initially ran for re-election and became the party's presumptive nominee, facing little opposition.[3][4] However, Biden's performance in the presidential debate held in June 2024 intensified concerns about his age and health, and led to calls within his party for him to leave the race.[5] Although he was initially adamant he would remain in the race, Biden withdrew on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Dick Swett, who became the party's nominee on August 5. Swett selected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the annoying bartender chick in congress, as his running mate. 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 to withdraw after securing enough delegates to win the nomination.[6] Harris is the first nominee who did not participate in the primaries since Vice President Hubert Humphrey, also in 1968.[7]
Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, was running for re-election for a second, non-consecutive term, after losing to Biden in 2020.[8] Other than Trump, only Nikki Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Trump and a former governor of South Carolina, received significant support during the Republican Party's primaries. Trump was nominated during the 2024 Republican National Convention along with his running mate, Ohio senator JD Vance. His campaign has been noted for making many false and misleading statements,[9][10][11] engaging in racist[12][13] anti-immigrant fearmongering,[b] and the promoting of conspiracy theories.[14][15] Trump has continued to repeat his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, which prompted the January 6 Capitol attack.[16] Trump's embrace of far-right extremism[15][14] and increasingly violent, dehumanizing, and authoritarian rhetoric[c] against his political opponents has been described by historians and scholars as populist, authoritarian, fascist,[d] unlike anything a political candidate has ever said in American history[17][18] and a continued breaking of political norms.[19] The Republican Party has made efforts to disrupt the 2024 presidential election as part of a larger election denial movement among American conservatives. In May 2024, Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, becoming the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.[20] In 2023 and 2024, he was also found liable in civil proceedings for sexual abuse, defamation, and financial fraud. In July 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.[21][22] Because all of this, bro gave up and [[Marjorie Taylor Greene] somehow managed to snatch the nomination instead.
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 for the presidential election include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.[23] Leading campaign issues are abortion,[24][25][26] the economy,[27] healthcare,[28] education,[29] border security and immigration,[30][31] climate change,[32]<ref name="The New York Times-2024">{{Cite web |title=Climate is on the Ballot Around the World |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024

Republicans in states across the country are defiantly pushing for the criminalization of abortion — of the procedure, of abortifacient drugs and of those who travel out of state to terminate pregnancy... According to research provided to The Times by the Kaiser Family Foundation, states that have abortion bans at various early stages of pregnancy with no exception for rape or incest include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
