2024 United States presidential election / Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen 2024 / Kabinet-Trump II

5 november 2024 @ 12:00 - 6 november 2024 @ 12:00

The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election, scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Voters will elect a president and vice president for a term of four years. Incumbent President Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, was running for re-election. On July 21, 2024, Biden announced that he would pull out of the presidential race, allowing the Democratic Party to choose a new candidate. He endorsed incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential nomination. Soon after, Harris announced that she was running for the 2024 Democratic nomination. The party’s nominee will be officially chosen at the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for August 19 to 22, 2024. Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election to a second, nonconsecutive term. If Trump wins, he would become the second president to achieve this feat, after Grover Cleveland. On July 13, 2024, Trump was shot in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. On July 15, 2024, the first day of the Republican National Convention, Trump officially announced that Senator J. D. Vance would be his running mate. 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.

It will occur at the same time as elections to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House; several states will also be holding gubernatorial and state legislative elections. 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. By the next month, Kennedy’s polling was at the highest levels for a third-party candidate since Ross Perot in 1992. Cornel West has also announced a campaign on a social democratic and pro-Palestine platform. Colorado and Maine have ruled that Trump is ineligible to hold office, and as such is disqualified from appearing on the ballot, due to his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. However, the rulings are stayed pending appeal. This is the first presidential election to occur after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Abortion access, healthcare, education, the economy, foreign policy, LGBT rights, and democracy are expected to be leading campaign issues.
