2024 United States presidential election (Era Novum)

The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial American presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2020. The Democratic nominees, Vice President Pete Buttigieg and Attorney General Kamala Harris defeated the Republican ticket of Senator Tom Cotton and Representative Cadence Owens.
== Background ==
Article Two of the United States Constitution provides that the President and Vice President of the United States must be natural-born citizens of the United States, at least 35 years old, and residents of the United States for a period of at least 14 years. Candidates for the presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the political parties, in which case each party devises a method (such as a primary election) to choose the candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position. Traditionally, the primary elections are indirect elections where voters cast ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular candidate. The party's delegates then officially nominate a candidate to run on the party's behalf. The general election in November is also an indirect election, where voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the Electoral College; these electors in turn directly elect the President and Vice President.
President Joe Biden, a Democrat and former U.S. Senator from Delaware, was eligible to seek reelection to a second term, but declined to do so, citing age. His term expired at noon eastern standard time on January 20, 2025.
