2024 United States presidential election (Harris vs. Quayle)

The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The Republican ticket of former vice president Dan Quayle and Pixar executive Pete Docter defeated the Democratic ticket of incumbent vice president Kamala Harris and the junior U.S. senator from New Jersey Cory Booker. Harris was the first incumbent vice president since Al Gore in the 2000 election to lose a race for the presidency.
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden declined to run for a second term due to reasons relating to his health conditions. Therefore, vice president Harris emerged as the top-runner for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination and selected senator Cory Booker of New Jersey as her running mate. This quickly made Harris the second woman to be nominated for president after Hillary Clinton, the second African-American nominee for president after Barack Obama, and the first ever Asian-American nominee for president. Quayle entered the Republican primaries for the first time since the preparation for the 2000 election, and was later formally declared the Republican nominee for president. CCO and longtime staff member Pete Docter of Pixar, the first vice presidential candidate without any prior political or military service, was selected by Quayle as his running mate in August 2024.
