2024 United States presidential election
The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election, scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024.[1] Voters will elect a president and vice president for a term of four years. Incumbent President Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, is running for re-election.[2] His predecessor Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election to a second, nonconsecutive term.[3] If Trump wins, he will become the second president to achieve this feat, after Grover Cleveland. If both are nominated by their respective parties, it will mark the first presidential rematch since 1956 and the first featuring an incumbent and former president since 1912. A number of primary election challengers have also declared their candidacies for the nomination of both major parties. The winner of this election is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025.

Prior to the general election, political parties will choose their nominees at nominating conventions. Delegates to the nominating conventions will be chosen by voters in state-level caucuses and primary elections. In October 2023, environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his run as an independent presidential candidate;[4] he received polling aggregation in the lower-to-middle 20 percentile in a three-way race the following month.[5][6]
The presidential election will occur at the same time as elections to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House. Several states will also hold gubernatorial and state legislative elections. Abortion access,[7] healthcare, education,[8] gun control,[9] LGBT rights, the state of the economy,[10] and climate change[11] are expected to be leading campaign issues.
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. The Twenty-second Amendment forbids any person from being elected president more than twice. Major party candidates seek the nomination through a series of primary elections that select the delegates who choose the candidate at the party's national convention. Each party's national convention chooses a vice presidential running mate to form that party's ticket. The nominee for president usually picks the running mate, who is then ratified by the delegates at the party's convention.
The general election in November is 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.[12] Election offices are dealing with increased workloads and public scrutiny, so officials in many key states have sought for more funds to hire more personnel, improve security, and extend training. This demand emerges at a moment when numerous election offices are dealing with an increase in retirements and a flood of public record demands, owing in part to the electoral mistrust planted by former President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election.[13]
Both Biden and Trump have announced that they are running for president in 2024, suggesting a potential rematch of the 2020 election, which would be the first presidential rematch since 1956.[14] If Trump is elected, he would become the second president to win a second non-consecutive term, joining Grover Cleveland who did so in 1892.[15]
Electoral map
Effects of the 2020 census
This will be the first U.S. presidential election to occur after the reapportionment of votes in the United States Electoral College following the 2020 United States census.[16][17] If the results of the 2020 election were to stay the same (which has never occurred in the history of presidential elections) in 2024, Democrats would have 303 electoral votes against the Republicans' 235, a slight change from Biden's 306 electoral votes and Trump's 232, meaning that Democrats lost a net of 3 electoral votes to the reapportionment process. This apportionment of electoral college votes will remain only through the 2028 election. Reapportionment will be conducted again after the 2030 United States census.[18]
Electoral partisanship
In recent presidential elections, most states are not competitive due to demographics keeping them solidly behind one of the major parties. Because of the nature of the Electoral College, this means that the various swing states — competitive states that "swing" between the Democratic and Republican parties — are vital to winning the presidency. As of now, these include states in the Rust Belt, such as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and states in the Sun Belt, such as Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia.[19] North Carolina may also be considered a battleground state, due to the close result in the previous presidential election, in which Trump only won by 1.34%.[20] Due to gradual demographic shifts, some former swing states such as Iowa, Ohio and Florida have shifted significantly towards the Republicans, favoring them in future statewide and local elections. Meanwhile, states like Colorado, New Mexico and Virginia have moved noticeably towards the Democrats, and the party has become the dominant political force there.[21][22][23]
The Democratic electoral coalition, securing the "blue states" for Democratic presidential candidates, performs best among Jewish and Black voters;[24][25] whites who are wealthy or postgraduates,[26] or live in urban areas.[27] Working class voters were also a mainstay of the Democratic coalition since the days of the New Deal, but since the 1970s, many have defected to Republicans as the Democratic Party became significantly more diverse and culturally liberal.[28] Conversely, the traditional Republican coalition that dominates many "red states" is mainly composed of rural white voters, evangelicals, the elderly, and non-college educated voters.[29] Republicans have also historically performed well with suburban, middle class voters since the 1950s, but this bloc has drifted away from them in recent years due to the rise of the Tea Party movement and later the Make America Great Again movement.[30] The acceleration of this trend has been credited with tipping the 2020 presidential election in favor of Democrat Joe Biden, because the incumbent Trump was historically unpopular in the suburbs for a Republican candidate, underperforming there significantly.[31] Under Biden, Democrats embraced the principles of internationalism, supporting large-scale military aid to Israel and Ukraine in order for them to achieve their strategic objectives.[32] Republican voters have become profoundly less interventionist[33] and have increasingly become opposed to funding either Israel or Ukraine in their respective wars, arguing for what they see as a foreign policy that would put "America First".[34][35]
The 2010s has been widely been seen as ending the Reagan Era, as Republican voters’ emphasis and opinion on social issues has radically changed, with same-sex marriage becoming overwhelmingly accepted among Republican voters.[33] There has been a strong and more aggressive emphasis on social conservatism and a "tooth-and-nail, middle-finger unwillingness to accept liberal social norms."[36] Many of the voters attracted by Trump have opinions at odds with Republican Christian "traditional social conservatives" —they did "not oppose or even care about abortion or same-sex marriage, much less stem-cell research";[37] but instead accepted "with varying degrees of enthusiasm ... pornography, homosexuality, drug use, legalized gambling, and whatever GamerGate was about"; but do side with conservatives in having "concerns about political correctness and 'SJWs,' opposition to the popularization of so-called critical race theory, [and] sentimentality [and love for] America."[37]
In recent years, the two coalitions of the parties have changed radically in composition,[38] with minority groups — particularly those who are Arab,[39] Asian,[40] Hispanic,[41][42] — the non-college educated, lower-income, and those under 35 increasingly trending towards the Republicans.[43][44] Jewish and college educated, affluent white voters have trended towards the Democrats.[45][44] In 2023, Axios stated that "the last several decades have ushered in a dramatic political realignment, as the GOP has broadened its appeal to a more [racially and ethnically] diverse working class and Democrats have become the party of wealthier, more-educated voters" and that "nine of the top 10 wealthiest congressional districts are represented by Democrats".[46]
According to Eitan Hersh and Sarang Shah, political scientists at Tufts and Berkeley:[45]
The ongoing development of the Democratic Party as a party not of labor but of socioeconomic elites, and the ongoing development of the Republican Party as a party not of business but of working-class social conservatives, represents a major, perhaps the major, American political development of the 21st century.
Impact of third-party voting
While independent/third party candidates often do better in polls than actual election performance, early polling suggests there could be a strong showing for third-party candidates in 2024. Third party candidates currently have the strongest showing in polls since Ross Perot’s high poll numbers in the 1990s.[47] Polls are especially high for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped out of the Democratic Party primaries to run as an independent.[48]
Campaign issues
Abortion legality
Legal abortion access is expected to be a key topic during the campaign. This is the first presidential election to be held in the aftermath of two major court rulings that affected access to abortion. The first is the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, in which the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, leaving abortion law entirely to the states, including bans on abortion.[7] The second is the 2023 Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in which a federal judge in northwest Texas overturned the FDA's approval of mifepristone in 2000, which could potentially pull the medication from the market if upheld by higher courts.[49] Both rulings have received strong support from Republican politicians and lawmakers.[7][49]
In 2022, six states held elections for ballot measures relating to the legality of abortion, and the pro-abortion rights side was victorious in every case, including in states easily won by President Trump.[50] By April 2023, a large majority of Republican-controlled states had passed near-total bans on abortion, rendering it "largely illegal" throughout much of the United States. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, there are 15 states that have de jure early stage bans on abortion without exceptions for rape or incest.[7]
Democrats are predominantly supportive of viewing abortion access as a right.[51] The topic of abortion will likely play a role in the Republican primary; some candidates, such as senator Tim Scott, support federal restrictions on abortion,[52] while other candidates including former president Donald Trump do not support federal restrictions on the procedure.[53][7][54] The topic has not received much attention from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is also running for president and is widely seen as the leading challenger to former President Donald Trump. However, when a six-week abortion restriction was authorized by the Florida Legislature, DeSantis signed it into law on that day.[55] In September 2023, Republican candidates attacked Trump for calling Florida's six-week abortion ban "a terrible mistake", while disputing with each other over whether a federal ban should be imposed, or whether this should be left to the states to decide.[56]
Economic issues
The COVID-19 pandemic left behind significant economic effects which are likely to persist into 2024.[57] A period of high inflation began in 2021, caused by a confluence of events including the pandemic and a supply-chain crisis, which was then heightened by economic effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[58][59] Opinion polling over Biden's handling of the economy has consistently been negative since late 2021.[60] Voters often cite economic issues as their top issue for the 2024 election.[61][62]
Women were particularly affected by the economic downturn in the wake of the pandemic, particularly those who left their work for childcare responsibilities.[63] Temporary childcare measures, including an expanded child tax credit as part of the American Rescue Plan, were introduced as methods designed to help the economic situation of parents, but these would expire before the 2024 election.[64] Biden stated that offering universal pre-kindergarten services as well as caregiver support would be a priority of a second term.[65]
Education
Under the Biden administration, several rounds of student loan forgiveness have been issued, totaling over $32 billion in relief, including for borrowers who had educational institutions who misled them on job placement, for borrowers who have become permanently disabled, and for borrowers enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.[66] In August 2022, a plan was unveiled that would eliminate $10,000 in student loan debt for single graduates making less than $125,000 or married couples making less than $250,000.[67] $20,000 would be eliminated for borrowers of Pell Grants, a program aimed at providing need-based assistance.[68] In June 2023, this plan was overturned in the Supreme Court decision Biden v. Nebraska, which ruled that the HEROES Act, which the Biden administration had relied upon for authority, did not allow for widespread loan forgiveness.[69][70] Biden intends to implement new methods of student debt relief, working around the Supreme Court decision.[71]
Some Republican candidates/prospective candidates see education as a winning campaign issue. Dozens of states have created laws preventing the instruction of critical race theory, an academic discipline focused on the examination of racial inequality. Supporters of the laws claim that conversations about racial identity are not appropriate for a school environment.[72][73][8] Critics of the laws against critical race theory claim they whitewash American history and act as memory laws to rewrite public memory of U.S. history.[74]
Election interference
Donald Trump did not concede to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, citing unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud, and has continued denying the election results as of 2023[update].[75][76] Republican officials in the Trump administration and in Congress have supported attempts to overturn the election.[77][78] Election security experts have warned that officials who deny the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election may attempt to impede the voting process or refuse to certify the 2024 election results.[79]
In the aftermath of the January 6 United States Capitol attack, FBI director Christopher A. Wray testified that far-right domestic terrorism "has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now, and it's not going away anytime soon."[80] Ali Alexander, who organized one of the many rallies preceding the U.S. Capitol attack, stated in August 2022 that he would be returning to the Capitol building in 2025 "for whatever the Congress certifies."[81]
Voluminous public polling has shown that large majorities of Americans belonging to both political parties believe that democracy in the United States is at risk.[82] Voters often cite different sources of threats to democracy depending on ideology. Liberals tend to believe that conservatives are threatening the country with autocratic tendencies and their attempts to overturn the 2020 election.[83] Many conservatives believe that the Democrats cheated in the 2020 election,[84] and attempted or were still attempting to remove former President Trump from holding public office by any means necessary, including impeachment and indictment.[85] Voters of both parties tend to agree that the influence of money in politics, the potential for political violence, and general corruption of public officials are aggravating factors threatening the health of American democracy.[86]
Firearms regulation
During a National Rifle Association (NRA) conference in Indianapolis on April 14, 2023, Donald Trump and other potential Republican presidential candidates expressed their support for gun owners' rights, on the heels of recent mass shootings in Nashville and Louisville. Democrats criticized the GOP's march of candidates in front of the NRA, saying firearms will be a big issue throughout the 2024 election year.[55]
President Joe Biden has asked Congress to pass an assault weapons ban following the shooting in Nashville.[87] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is against gun control.[88]
Foreign policy
The Israel-Hamas War and Russian invasion of Ukraine are expected to be significant issues of the campaign.[89]
The United States has provided significant military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine throughout the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[90] Democratic politicians and a significant number of Republican politicians have supported this plan, arguing that the United States has a significant role to play in "protecting democracy and fighting Russian aggression."[91] Some candidates, including Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, claim that Ukraine and suppressing Russian intervention should not be a significant interest to the United States, and that the plan should be more limited.[92] Vivek Ramaswamy favors ending U.S. military aid to Ukraine and would recognize Russian annexed territories.[93]
During the Israel–Hamas war, Biden announced "unequivocal" military support for Israel, and condemned the actions of Hamas and other Palestinian militants as terrorism.[94] He is considered to be the most pro-Israel candidate in the race, and has stated that he is a "Zionist in his heart".[95] Trump has been seen as generally supportive of Israel, but has become more critical of their policies since the 2020 presidential election, particularly those of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump has criticized the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and stated "I don’t think Bibi ever wanted to make peace [with the Palestinians]."[96] Kennedy condemned the massacres of Israeli citizens by Hamas.[97] Kennedy has said he wants to "end the proxy wars, bombing campaigns, covert operations, coups, paramilitaries, and everything else that has become so normal most people don’t know what’s happening."[98]
The question of American support towards Israel is seen as a crucial issue for Arab American and Jewish American communities. Polls taken since the start of the Israel-Hamas war have indicated that 68% of Arab Americans support a ceasefire and an end to military aid towards Israel, with Biden's support among Arab voters plummeting to 17%.[99][100] 70% of American Jews have expressed feeling less safe than they did before the war, although opinions on Israel have remained divided among the wider community.[101][102]
LGBT rights
During the 2020s, the subject of gender identity became a prominent topic in American politics, particularly regarding athletics and transgender-related healthcare for minors.[103][104] In a February campaign message, Donald Trump said that if re-elected, he would enact a federal law that would recognize only two genders, stated that being transgender is a concept made up by "the radical left", and would enact nearly a dozen policies that would target transgender Americans. Ron DeSantis has signed several anti-LGBT laws as Governor of Florida, including the controversial Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, referred to by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" law, which prohibits speaking about sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida public schools.[105]
Healthcare issues
The issue of healthcare and drug policy, including whether the United States should shift to a universal healthcare system,[106] and the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to play a key role in the 2024 presidential election.[107]
According to Deseret News, Kennedy has attempted to moderate his anti-vaccine position before the election, stating that he is not against all vaccines, and telling Bill Maher in an interview that "all I'm saying" is that "let's test [vaccines] the way we test other medicines. That does not seem unreasonable".[4]
Democratic Party
On April 25, 2023, President Joe Biden announced his run for re-election, keeping Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate.[108][109] Consequently, Republicans have intensified their criticism of Harris since Biden declared his intention to run for office.[110] During late 2021, as Biden was facing low approval ratings, there was speculation that he would not seek re-election,[111] and some prominent Democrats (Representatives Carolyn Maloney, Tim Ryan and former Representative Joe Cunningham) publicly urged Biden not to run.[112][113][114] In addition to Biden's unpopularity, many are concerned about his age; he was the oldest person to assume the office at age 78 and would be 82 at the end of his first term. If re-elected, he would be 86 at the end of his second term.[115] According to an NBC poll released in April 2023, 70 percent of Americans—including 51 percent of Democrats—believe Biden should not run for a second term. Almost half said it was because of his age. According to the FiveThirtyEight national polling average, Biden's current approval rating is 41 percent, while 55 percent disapprove.[116] There was also speculation that Biden may face a primary challenge from a member of the Democratic Party's progressive faction.[117][118] After Democrats outperformed expectations in the 2022 midterm elections, many believed the chances that Biden would run for and win his party's nomination had increased.[119]
Author Marianne Williamson announced her candidacy in February 2023, before Biden announced his own candidacy for re-election. Williamson had previously sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.[120] In April 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his candidacy for the nomination.[121] A member of the Kennedy family, he is an environmental lawyer and author.[122][123] Beginning in July 2023, Kennedy's support remained between 10 and 15 percent in the RealClear Politics average of polls taken among likely voters in the Democratic primary.[124] On October 9, 2023, Kennedy announced that he would be dropping out of the Democratic primary and would instead run as an independent candidate.[125] While Kennedy had been a lifelong Democrat, his net approval rating among Democrats was significantly lower than his net approval rating among Republican voters. In a New York Times/Sienna College poll taken in late July, Kennedy had a net 31% disapproval rating among Democrats, but a net 36% approval rating among Republicans.[126] Representative Dean Phillips announced his run against Biden on October 26.[127]

Republican Party
Donald Trump, the then-incumbent president, was defeated by Biden in the 2020 election and is eligible to run again in 2024, making him the fifth ex-president to seek a second non-consecutive term. If he wins, Trump would be the second president to win a non-consecutive term, after Grover Cleveland.[148] He filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on November 15, 2022, and announced his candidacy in a speech at Mar-a-Lago the same day.[149][150] Trump is considered an early frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, following his 2024 campaign announcement on November 15, 2022.[151] Trump announced in March 2022 that if he runs for re-election and wins the Republican presidential nomination, his former vice president Mike Pence will not be his running mate.[152]
In March 2023, Trump was indicted over his hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.[153] Trump was again indicted in June over his handling of classified documents which contained materials sensitive to national security. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all the charges related to these indictments.[154][155]
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is seen as the main challenger to Trump for the Republican nomination; he raised more campaign funds in the first half of 2022 and had more favorable polling numbers than Trump by the end of 2022.[156][157][158] On May 24, 2023, DeSantis announced his candidacy on Twitter in an online conversation with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. "American decline is not inevitable—it is a choice...I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American comeback", DeSantis added. His campaign stated to have raised $1 million in the first hour following the announcement of his candidacy.[159] Speaking on Fox & Friends, he stated that he would "destroy leftism" in the United States.[160] At the end of July 2023, FiveThirtyEight's national polling average of the Republican primaries had Trump at 52 percent, and DeSantis at 15.[161]
Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley has since gained ground and is in second place in New Hampshire, in polling averages compiled by RealClearPolitics, as of early November 2023.[162]

Independent/third party
The large majority of third-party support in polling has gone to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who seems to have drawn widespread support among independent and anti-establishment voters disillusioned with mainstream American politics, winning a plurality among independents,[6] and drawing support across ideological lines.[citation needed] A October 26–30, 2023 Quinnipiac poll found that Kennedy would receive 22% of the vote if the election was a three-way race held when taken.[6] In a November 2023 poll conducted by Siena College Research Institute, he leads among a plurality of battleground state voters under the age of 45.[5] He has faced criticism for supporting various conspiracy theories, particularly on the John F. Kennedy assassination and COVID-19 vaccines.[210] Polling has indicated that voters predominately do not care about this, and it may even help Kennedy in polling.[citation needed]
Centrist political organization No Labels, which helped create the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus in the United States House of Representatives, also said they would consider running a third-party candidate, citing popular polling for such a candidate.[211]

Forecasts
This section needs to be updated.(November 2023) |
Elections analysts and political pundits issue probabilistic forecasts to give readers a sense of how probable various electoral outcomes are. These forecasts use a variety of factors to determine the likelihood of each candidate winning each state. Most election predictors use the following ratings:
- "tossup": no advantage
- "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
- "lean" or "leans": slight advantage
- "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
- "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory
Below is a list of states considered by one or more forecast to be competitive; states that are deemed to be "safe" or "solid" by The Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections (all three) are omitted for brevity.

Blue America is an increasingly wealthy and well-educated place. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Americans without college degrees were more likely than university graduates to vote Democratic. But that gap began narrowing in the late 1960s before finally flipping in 2004... A more educated Democratic coalition is, naturally, a more affluent one... In every presidential election from 1948 to 2012, white voters in the top 5 percent of America's income distribution were more Republican than those in the bottom 95 percent. Now, the opposite is true: Among America's white majority, the rich voted to the left of the middle class and the poor in 2016 and 2020, while the poor voted to the right of the middle class and the rich.

Indeed, this is what makes the implications of a Hispanic partisan realignment so profound: At a moment when Democrats have begun to dominate the affluent, college-educated vote that for decades formed the cornerstone of the Republican coalition, perhaps the only thing that can keep the GOP competitive is an infusion of support from the very middle- and working-class Hispanics who were, at this moment in history, supposed to deliver the Democrats a foolproof majority.
- ^ Teixeira, Ruy (November 6, 2022). "Democrats' Long Goodbye to the Working Class". The Atlantic. Retrieved November 8, 2022.
As we move into the endgame of the 2022 election, the Democrats face a familiar problem. America's historical party of the working class keeps losing working-class support. And not just among white voters. Not only has the emerging Democratic majority I once predicted failed to materialize, but many of the nonwhite voters who were supposed to deliver it are instead voting for Republicans... From 2012 to 2020, the Democrats not only saw their support among white working-class voters — those without college degrees — crater, they also saw their advantage among nonwhite working-class voters fall by 18 points. And between 2016 and 2020 alone, the Democratic advantage among Hispanic voters declined by 16 points, overwhelmingly driven by the defection of working-class voters. In contrast, Democrats' advantage among white college-educated voters improved by 16 points from 2012 to 2020, an edge that delivered Joe Biden the White House.

Voters under 30 favor Mr. Biden by only a single percentage point, his lead among Hispanic voters is down to single digits and his advantage in urban areas is half of Mr. Trump's edge in rural regions. And while women still favored Mr. Biden, men preferred Mr. Trump by twice as large a margin, reversing the gender advantage that had fueled so many Democratic gains in recent years. Black voters — long a bulwark for Democrats and for Mr. Biden — are now registering 22 percent support in these states for Mr. Trump, a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times... In a remarkable sign of a gradual racial realignment between the two parties, the more diverse the swing state, the farther Mr. Biden was behind, and he led only in the whitest of the six.
