United States Presidential Election, 2024 (Fester Old)

The 2024 United States Presidential Election was the 60th quadrennial U.S presidential election.
House Representative Beto O’Rourke beat incumbent Vice President Mike Pence in a landslide victory, having the largest total of electoral votes since George H.W Bush in 1988. The Progressive Party candidate Richard Harold won 4% of the vote.
Incumbent Republican Vice President Mike Pence ran a close contest against former House Speaker Paul Ryan, resulting in a contested convention. Pence won, albeit extremely narrowly. The Representative for Texas’s 16th District Beto O’Rourke easily won the Democratic nomination.
For the first time since 1976, Texas voted for the Democratic candidate with 50.3% of the vote. This is widely attributed to the changing demographics of Texas, along with the fact that it was Beto O’Rourke’s home state.
Concurrent with the presidential election, Senate, House, and many gubernatorial and state and local elections were also held on November 5.
== 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 Donald Trump, a Republican. was ineligible to seek reelection to a third term due to the restrictions of the Twenty-second Amendment; in accordance with Section 1 of the Twentieth
Amendment, his term expired at noon on January 20, 2025.
