The 2024 United States Elections took place on September 18, 2024. Voters turned out to elect the President and the Vice President, as well as the House and the Senate of the United States. 
President Levi Starkin defeated his Republican challenger, Senate Majority Leader Palpatine, in the closest election in U.S. history, winning by just one vote. After the resignation of President Starkin's Vice President, Francis Durant, who ran for a Senate seat in the Midwest as a Republican, Starkin nominated Winston Copeland, then Governor of the South. 
Palpatine--who previously challenged Starkin in 2020--selected then Speaker of the House, DonaldDemo, a Traditional Conservative, as his running mate. 
Concurrently, the Senate Democrats, led by Eric Adams, gained control of the Senate over the Republicans. Gaining 3 seats, the Democrats consolidated a 6-4 majority. 
In the House, the Republicans and TCP--led by then Speaker DonaldDemo--strengthened their majority, dominating a 10-5 House majority. Shortly after the election, John Boehner was elected as the new Speaker of the House.
== Recount ==
The initial count of the Presidential Election resulted in a tie between Starkin and Palpatine. In the following hours, several recounts occurred across the United States. During the early morning of September 19th, the lead shifted dramatically between Starkin and Palpatine, with numerous votes being recounted. 
After several of the recounts had concluded, the Presidential Election was projected to be a tie; the outcome of the Presidential Election would be determined by the House of Representatives and the Senate. 
However, a final recount concluded that one voter had cast two ballots for Palpatine. Thus, this voter's second vote was invalidated. As a result, President Starkin led by 1 vote, and had therefore won the Presidential Election. 
== Democratic Party ==
President Starkin was unopposed in his nomination for re-election. 
== Republican Party ==
Palpatine was unopposed in his candidacy for the Republican nomination.
