The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.[1] Voters in each state and the District of Columbia will choose a slate of electors to the U.S. Electoral College, who will then elect a president and vice president for a term of four years.
Incumbent president Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, initially ran for re-election and became the party's presumptive nominee, facing little opposition.[2][3] However, Biden's performance in the June 2024 presidential debate intensified concerns about his age and health, and led to widespread calls within his party for him to leave the race.[4] He withdrew on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the party's nominee on August 5.[5] Harris chose Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate.[6] Biden's withdrawal makes him the first eligible incumbent president since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968 not to run for re-election, and the first to withdraw after securing enough delegates to win the nomination.[7] Harris is the first nominee who did not participate in the primaries since Hubert Humphrey, also in 1968.[8]
Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election for a second, non-consecutive term, after losing to Biden in 2020.[9] Trump faced also limited opposition in the Republican primaries. Trump was nominated during the 2024 Republican National Convention along with his running mate, Ohio senator JD Vance. Trump's campaign has been criticized by legal experts, historians, and political scientists for invoking violent rhetoric and authoritarian statements.[10][11][12] During the 2024 campaign, Trump has repeatedly made false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from him.[13] In 2023 and 2024, Trump was found liable and guilty in civil and criminal proceedings, respectively, for sexual abuse, defamation, financial fraud, and falsifying business records, becoming the first former president to be convicted of a crime.[14]
The presidential election will take place at the same time as elections for the U.S. Senate, House, gubernatorial, and state legislatures. Key swing states include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.[15][16] Leading campaign issues are abortion,[17][18][19] border security and immigration,[20][21] climate change,[22][23] democracy,[24][25] the economy,[26] education,[27] foreign policy,[28] healthcare,[29] and LGBT rights.[30] The winners are scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, as the 47th president and 50th vice president of the United States.

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.
