2024 United States presidential election

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, is running for re-election. His predecessor Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election to a second, nonconsecutive term. If both Biden and Trump are nominated by their respective parties, it would mark the first presidential rematch since 1956. 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. In October 2023, 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 candidate outside the two major parties since Ross Perot in 1992.

The Colorado Supreme Court and the Secretary of State of Maine have ruled that Trump is ineligible to hold office, and as such 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, border security, LGBT rights, NATO, climate change and democracy are expected to be leading campaign issues.
