The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, lost re-election. They lost to the Republican ticket of the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis and Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley of South Carolina.
Despite being the incumbent president, Biden secured the Democratic nomination after a serious challenge from Representative Ocasio-Cortez of New York. The Republicans experienced a competitive primary. DeSantis was consistently competitive in the polls and won the support of many party leaders, but he faced challenges from a number of less 'Trumpist' contenders. DeSantis secured his party's nomination in May, defeating Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, Former Governor of Georgia Brian Kemp and Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming among other candidates.
The campaigns focused heavily on domestic issues, especially COVID policy. DeSantis criticized Biden's vaccine mandates, and boasted about his 'free' policies in Florida. His campaigned centred in making Biden seem like an old, out of touch and senile Democrat. Meanwhile, Biden tried to portray DeSantis as a dangerous radical and as a 'Trumpist'.
DeSantis flipped Arizona, Georgia, Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin but lost Maine's 2nd Congressional District to Biden. This helped him win the election. DeSantis was inaugarated on January 20, 2025
==Background==
===Procedure===
Article Two of the United States Constitution states that for a person to serve as president, the individual must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a United States resident for at least 14 years. Candidates for the presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the various political parties in the United States. Each party develops a method (such as a primary election) to choose the candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position. Primary elections are usually 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 presidential nominee typically chooses a vice presidential running mate to form that party's ticket, which is then ratified by the delegates at the party's convention (except for the Libertarian Party, which nominates its vice-presidential candidate by delegate vote regardless of the presidential nominee's preference). The general election in November is also an indirect election, in which voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the Electoral College; these electors then directly elect the president and vice president. If no candidate receives the minimum 270 electoral votes needed to win the election, the United States House of Representatives will select the president from among the three candidates who received the most electoral votes, and the United States Senate will select the vice president from among the candidates who received the two highest totals. The presidential election occurred simultaneously alongside elections for the House of Representatives, the Senate, and various state and local-level elections.
