=== Democratic Nomination
===
 Despite his age,President Joe Biden decided to seek re-election. He didn't face much opposition,despite Democrats telling him not to run because of his age. Nina Turner did launch a campaign,but she withdrew in Febuary 2024 and Biden won every state.
=== Republican Nomination
After the Rebulicans losses in the 2022 midterms,many blamed losses in races for govenor and senate on Trump,saying voters wouldn't vote Republican because of him. So,instead of as excpected before the election,Trump was not the sole candidate,and many such as Ron DeSantis,Mike Pence,Nikki Haley,Larry Hogan and Liz Chenny launched their campaings.However,Trump had wins in several states,as many Republicans remained loyal to him. In the end,Trump came in 1st,DeSantis in second,Haley in 3rd,Pence in fourth,Hogan in 5th,and Chenny in 6th. Trump chose Marjorie Taylor Greene as his running mate.
=== Results
Polls switched back and forth between Biden and Trump in the months before the election. Due to mail in ballots and early voting,the election was not called until around 6:00 AM eastern time on Thursday,November 7. Trump was able to flip Georgia and Wiscosin,but Biden won other swing states and in the end the Biden won with 277 electoral votes,and Trump came ins second with 261. Biden also came in 1st in the popular vote,and Trump in second.
=== Attemps to Overturn the election.
Even before the election,Trump repeadetly accused the Democrats of election fraud. He said"Election fraud by Biden and the democrats is very likely," and ,"It is just like 2020." Smillar to 2020 after the election results came in,Trump claimed mass fraud,and demanded recounts. He tried to get electors from swing states to vote for him on December 14 regardless of the election results. This did not work,and the election was certified on December 14,2024. After that,Trump tried to get the states that voted for him to secede from the U.S. Some govenors followed him,but there wasn't enough unity in the Republican party and Trump's attemptes at making a new nation failed. So,he resorted to get his followers to have a revolution. On January 20,2025,there was a terrorist attack on Washignton D.C.,during Biden's innaguration. The attempt at overthrowing the government failed,and Trump was arrested. He claimed it was his all his supporters,and was named not guilty. He then retired from politics ===
