== Background ==
Following the impeachment of Donald Trump, Mike Pence was chosen the nominee for the Republican Party and was chosen president. During his brief mandate he met with numerous foreign leaders.
He was famous for being the first president to invite Kim-Jong-Un to the United States. Kim-Jong-Un accepted and arrived in a rented Air China plane. 
He decided to invite the ayatollah of Iran however he politely declined.
After Michael Bloomberg’s victory he was invited to a summit in Pyongyang and Bloomberg politely accepted the offer. 
== Results ==
Michael Bloomberg defeated Michael Pence which was not anticipated by much. Bloomberg won 278 electoral votes which gave him a slim victory and his main opponent Michael Pence got 254. Mike Pence lost the popular vote by a medium margin. 
The Constitution Party was thought to attract numerous Trump supporters however this time they voted for Pence. Ben Carson only won the 6 electoral votes from Arkansas but lost all the other states by a wide margin.

== Controversies ==
The 2024 election was home to a few famous controversies.
=== Hermann Cain Trials ===
==== 2011 ====
In October 2011, Politico reported that two female employees had complained about inappropriate behaviour by Cain during his tenure at the National Restaurant Association. The women reportedly accepted financial settlements from the association which barred them from discussing their allegations further. 
Cain's campaign initially refused comment, but subsequently acknowledged that the accusations had been made. Cain strongly denied any impropriety, stating: "I have never sexually harassed anyone and those usations are totally false." 
He initially denied being aware of any financial settlement with the accusers, but later accepted that some form of payment had been made by the Restaurant Association. He described the allegations as a "witch hunt".
==== 2020 ====
However a few months before Election Day 33 women decided to accuse Cain of six different types of sexual assault. After a four month trial he was found guilty and was sentenced to 11 years of prison but without a fine. 
Cain had recently endorsed Ben Carson however when Cain was found guilty Carson’s polling numbers went from 10% to 6%. 
=== Russian Involvement ===
There were accusations about Russian involvement in the elections however investigators failed to find any proof. 
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov denied the accusations on live television. 
=== People’s Party of Canada Funding ===
The Canadian PPC was accused to have donated close to one million in party funds to Ben Carson however these were sent as online funds and all the money was delivered by individual PPC supporters and it all came from their pockets. 
== Debates ==
There were four presidential debates with only one featuring Ben Carson, which was the one in Milwaukee. 
A vice-presidential debate was hosted however Donald Blankenship was not invited which caused an outrage among the ”Carson-Constitutionalists” on internet.
