The 2024 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. In the presidential election, former Republican President Donald Trump, seeking a non-consecutive second term, defeated the incumbent Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Republicans also gained control of the Senate and held narrow control of the House of Representatives, winning a government trifecta for the first time since 2016.[1]
This election cycle was notable for an attempted assassination of Trump, the first time a US President (current or former) had been shot at since 1981, and again, the first time a US presidential candidate had been shot on the campaign trail since 1972. Another attempted assassination of Trump later in the campaign was also unsuccessful. Major issues across the elections were the economy, abortion, immigration, democracy, and foreign policy.
Issues
Economic issues
Voters consistently cited the economy as their top issue in the 2024 election.[2] Following the COVID-19 pandemic, a global surge in inflation ensued that raised prices on many goods, though the U.S. inflation rate had declined significantly during 2023 and 2024.[3][4][5] The New York Times reported that both candidates "embraced a vision of a powerful federal government, using its muscle to intervene in markets in pursuit of a stronger and more prosperous economy."[6]
The chief divide between the two major parties on this issue going into the election cycle were the incumbent Democrats presenting a message that the economy was strong and well on its way to recovering from the effect of worldwide inflation, with the Biden team going so far as coining the term "Bidenomics"[7] in order to be perceived as "bragging" about Biden's economic leadership, with President Biden and Rep. Nancy Pelosi often remarking they "inherited" economic problems from Trumps first-term which they asserted to have since "fixed" under their leadership,[8][9] while the Republicans focused on specific aspects affecting American consumers such as gas and grocery prices, with GOP messaging asking the question "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?",[10] asking voters to compare their experiences since Biden took over to their experience during Trump's first-term.
After Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, the Harris campaign would make a large shift in Democrat messaging on the economy issue over the course of the election cycle, particularly on the topic of "affordability" where Democrat messaging began to widely embrace that basic goods were still too expensive for the average American,[11] while trying to push broad economic proposals as possible solutions should Americans give Vice President Harris the Presidency and Democrats more power in Congress.[12]
Abortion
This was the first presidential election held after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and the third overall election cycle after the 2022 midterm elections and the 2023 off-year elections. Republican-controlled states predominantly passed near-total bans on abortion in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. By April 2023, abortion was "largely illegal" in several states.[13] According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, there were 15 states that had de jure early stage bans on abortion explicitly without exceptions for rape or incest: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.[13] (Ohio voters subsequently codified abortion rights in Ohio's state constitution via November 2023 Ohio Issue 1.) In states with laws granting exceptions, it was reported de facto that "very few exceptions to these new abortion bans have been granted" and that patients who had been raped or otherwise qualified for exceptions were being turned away, citing "ambiguous laws and the threat of criminal penalties make them unwilling to test the rules".[14]
Abortion referendums were on the ballot in 10 states in 2024: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York and South Dakota.[15]
Indictments
Federal indictments
On November 18, 2022, three days after former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump announced his 2024 re-election bid, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate Trump's role in the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack and Trump's mishandling of government documents, including classified documents. On June 8, 2023, Trump was indicted on 37 federal charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents.[16] The case was dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon on July 15, 2024.[17]
On August 1, 2023, a Washington, D.C., federal grand jury indicted Trump on four felony counts of conspiracy and obstruction related to Trump's alleged role in the January 6 incident and alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.[18]
On August 11, 2023, four months after incumbent president and Democratic candidate Joe Biden announced his re-election bid, AG Garland appointed David C. Weiss to serve as special counsel to investigate Biden's son, Hunter Biden, who was indicted on September 14, 2023, on three federal firearms-related charges.[19][20] Hunter Biden was later convicted on all 3 felony counts on June 11, 2024.[21]
State indictments
On March 30, 2023, Trump was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan for his alleged role in a scandal stemming from hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.[22] While Trump would later be found guilty in a jury trial,[23] shortly after the verdict in Manhattan the Supreme Court issued a ruling on a separate case which acknowledged the legal concept of "Presidential Immunity" as a constitutional privilege afforded both to current and former US Presidents, and ruling that certain documents and testimony relating to a former Presidents time in Office were not permissible as evidence in a trial,[24] possibly effecting the legality of the court case procedure, evidence, testimony, and verdict.
On August 14, 2023, a Georgia grand jury indicted Trump on racketeering and other felonies committed in an effort to overturn the state's 2020 election results and the Trump–Raffensperger phone call.[25][26] As of November 5, 2024, Trump had pleaded not guilty to all the charges, and Judge Tanya Chutkan had granted a motion by the prosecution to waive all deadlines in the case to assess if/how the prosecution could/would proceed.[27]
States attempts to remove Donald Trump from primary ballots
On December 19, 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court removed Trump from the state's 2024 Republican primary, citing the Fourteenth Amendment's ban on candidates who engage in insurrections.[28] Following this decision other states attempted to follow suit and remove Trump from the ballot in their respective states, though most attempts were rejected.[29] Both the states of Maine[30] and Illinois[31] passed decisions to remove Trump from their respective ballots and suppress any votes cast for Donald Trump from the tallies, though the decisions were paused awaiting US Supreme Court appeal from Trumps team on the Colorado ballot ban case.
The decision to remove Trump from the Colorado ballot was later overturned by the US Supreme Court on March 4, 2024,[32] after which all other attempts at removing Trump from other state ballots ended or became moot.
Foreign relations
Israel–Hamas War
With the war in the Middle East between Israel and its regional neighbors under increased international scrutiny as it continued to escalate, many Americans had protested in support and in opposition to the United States continued friendship and alliance with Israel.
While many cities[33][34][35] and universities[36][37] experienced anti-Israeli protests calling on the US to end its support for the Israeli government and other Israeli institutions, which included calls for Americans to not support the 2024 election efforts of President Biden or Vice President Harris due to their administrations continued support for Israel,[38] Domestic American Pro-Israel groups had meanwhile spent large sums of money to support pro-Israel candidates against candidates critical of the Israeli government.[39][40] According to a campaign finance analysis by Politico, AIPAC was the "biggest source of Republican money flowing into competitive Democratic primaries this year."[41]
Alleged foreign interference
Several foreign nations may have interfered in the 2024 United States elections, with the most notable being China, Iran, and Russia. The efforts largely focused on propaganda and disinformation campaigns using inauthentic accounts on social media, and stoking domestic divisions and denigrating the United States and democracy more broadly.[42][43][44]
Federal elections
Presidential election
The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial U.S. presidential election. This was the first presidential election under the electoral vote distribution determined by the 2020 census. Presidential electors who would elect the President and Vice President of the United States were chosen; a simple majority (270) of the 538 electoral votes is required to win the election.
President Joe Biden initially ran for a second term and won the primaries, with Vice President Kamala Harris once again serving as his running mate; Biden later withdrew his candidacy on July 21, 2024.[45] Biden's withdrawal made him the first eligible incumbent president since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968 not to seek re-election, and the first to withdraw after securing enough delegates to win the nomination.[46] Harris is the first nominee who did not participate in the primaries since Vice President Hubert Humphrey, also in 1968.[47] Other candidates that entered the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries include Minnesota US Representative Dean Phillips, self-help author Marianne Williamson, and businessman Jason Palmer, all of whom later suspended their campaigns and endorsed Biden,[48][49] except Williamson who would continue to suspend and un-suspend her campaign.[50] This was the first election since 1968 in which an eligible incumbent president was not their party's nominee.[51] After a survey by the Associated Press of Democratic delegates on July 22, 2024, Kamala Harris became the new presumptive candidate for the Democratic party, a day after declaring her candidacy.[52] She would become the official nominee on August 5 following a virtual roll call of delegates.[53]
In November 2022, former President Donald Trump announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.[54] Other candidates who entered the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries include former South Carolina governor and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley and Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, who later suspended their campaigns and endorsed Trump.[55] The first Republican presidential debate was held on August 23, 2023, and the first primary contest was the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses, which was held on January 15, 2024.[56] Trump would win the nomination easily; he was formally nominated at the Republican Convention on July 15, his third consecutive presidential nomination.[57]
In October 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his run as an independent presidential candidate.[58] On August 23, 2024, Kennedy announced he was suspending his campaign and backing Trump.[59] In July, intermediaries between Trump and Kennedy discussed a possible role for Kennedy in the Trump administration in return for his endorsement;[60] a month later, Kennedy made similar overtures to the Harris campaign, but was rebuffed.[61]

All 33 seats in Senate Class 1 and one seat in Senate Class 2 were up for election; two additional special elections took place to fill vacancies that arose during the 118th Congress. Democrats controlled the majority in the closely divided Senate following the 2022 U.S. Senate elections, but they had to defend 23 seats in 2024. Three Democratic-held seats up for election were in the heavily Republican-leaning states of Montana, Ohio, and West Virginia, all of which were won comfortably by Trump in both 2016 and 2020.[62]

All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election.

Political violence
Assassination attempts
On July 13, 2024, during an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump, then the Republican candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election, was shot in a failed assassination attempt. Trump was shot in the upper right ear, while one rally attendee was killed and two others were critically injured.[147] This marked the first time a current or former US president had been shot since then-President Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981, the first time a Presidential Candidate was shot on the campaign trail since the shooting of Democratic Presidential Candidate George Wallace on May 15, 1972,[148] and the first time a former president had been shot since the shooting of President Theodore Roosevelt on October 14, 1912 (who, similar to Donald Trump, was a former Republican President running for a non-consecutive term when he was shot, though Theodore Roosevelt was seeking a non-consecutive 3rd term as a 3rd party candidate after previously choosing not to run as a Republican in the 1908 election cycle).
On September 15, 2024, Trump's security detail spotted an armed man while the former president was touring his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. They opened fire on the suspect, who fled in a vehicle and was later captured thanks to the contribution of an eyewitness. In the location where the suspect was spotted, the police retrieved a modified SKS rifle with a scope, two rucksacks and a GoPro in what was called by the FBI a second assassination attempt.[149]
Other
The 2024 election cycle had been marked by widespread doxxing, swatting, and threats against several politicians and activists, with a particular series of incidents starting in December 2023.[150][151][152]
On November 4, 2024, a white supremacist was arrested for plotting an attack on an electrical substation in Nashville, Tennessee.[153] On November 5, a man was arrested at the U.S. Capitol under suspicion of an attempted arson attack.[154][155]

Republicans in states across the country are defiantly pushing for the criminalization of abortion — of the procedure, of abortifacient drugs and of those who travel out of state to terminate pregnancy... According to research provided to The Times by the Kaiser Family Foundation, states that have abortion bans at various early stages of pregnancy with no exception for rape or incest include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

...But in the months since the court's decision, very few exceptions to these new abortion bans have been granted, a New York Times review of available state data and interviews with dozens of physicians, advocates and lawmakers revealed. Instead, those with means are traveling to states where abortion is still broadly legal or are obtaining abortion pills at home because the requirements to qualify for exceptions are too steep. Doctors and hospitals are turning away patients, saying that ambiguous laws and the threat of criminal penalties make them unwilling to test the rules.
