presidential vote 2024

The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Voters will elect a president and vice president for a term of four years. The incumbent president, Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, is running for re-election. His 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. If both are nominated, this will mark the seventh presidential election rematch, and the first since 1956. In the run-up to the election, on May 30, 2024, Trump was convicted of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records, becoming the first president to be found guilty of a crime.
The winner of this election is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025. The presidential election will take place at the same time as elections for the U.S. Senate, House, gubernatorial, and state legislatures. Biden and Trump secured a majority of delegates for the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, on March 12, though they have yet to be confirmed at their nominating conventions. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emerged as the highest-polling third-party presidential candidate since Ross Perot in the 1992 election, running as an independent.
Leading campaign issues are expected to be abortion, border security and immigration, healthcare, education, the economy, foreign policy, LGBT rights (in particular, transgender rights), climate change, and democracy.
