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.

This election cycle was notable for an attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the first time a US President (current or former) had been shot at since 1981, and the first time a US presidential candidate had been shot on the campaign trail since 1972. Another attempted assassination of Trump occurred later in the campaign. Major issues across the elections were the economy, abortion, immigration, democracy, and foreign policy.

Background

Indictments

During the 2024 election cycle, Donald Trump faced multiple criminal and civil court cases. By December 2022, one month after announcing his re-election bid, he had four criminal indictments totaling 86 felony counts. Trump and many Republicans made numerous false and misleading statements regarding Trump's criminal trials, including false claims that they are "rigged" or "election interference" orchestrated by Biden and the Democratic Party, of which there is no evidence.

On May 30, 2024, Trump was found guilty by a jury of all 34 felony counts in The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump over falsifying business records for hush money payments to pornographic film star Stormy Daniels, to ensure her silence about a sexual encounter between them to influence the 2016 presidential election. This made Trump the first former U.S. President to be convicted of a crime in American history.

Trump was found liable on May 9, 2023, by an anonymous jury, in E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump for battery and defamation, and was ordered to pay a total of $88.3-million combined judgement,

In September 2023, Trump was found guilty of financial fraud in New York v. Trump and was ordered to pay a $354.8-million judgement, which Trump appealed.

14th Amendment ballot removal attempts

Several state courts and officials, including the Colorado Supreme Court, a state Circuit Court in Illinois, and the Secretary of State of Maine, ruled that Trump was ineligible to hold office under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack, and moved to disqualify him from appearing on the ballot. On March 4, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Trump v. Anderson that states cannot determine eligibility for a national election under Section 3, and only Congress has the authority to disqualify candidates, or to pass legislation that allows courts to do so.

Issues

Democracy

Polling before the election indicated profound dissatisfaction with the state of American democracy on both sides of the electorate.

Liberals tended to believe that conservatives were threatening democracy following their attempts to overturn the 2020 election. During the election, significant debate broke out about whether Donald Trump could be considered a fascist. According to one poll conducted on October 25, 2024, 49% of Americans saw Trump as a fascist, described as "a political extremist who seeks to act as a dictator, disregards individual rights and threatens or uses force against their opponents". Meanwhile, only 22% saw Harris as a fascist by this definition.

Some Republicans were concerned that Trump's former impeachment and four criminal indictments were attempts to influence the election and keep him from office; however, there is no evidence that Trump's criminal trials were "election interference" orchestrated by Biden and the Democratic Party, and Trump also continued to repeat false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from him.

After Trump was shot at an election rally in an assassination attempt, polling soon after the event showed that 1/3rd of Americans agreed that the assassination attempt of Trump was "part of a broader plot or conspiracy", and nearly half of those polled answering "very or somewhat likely" to the idea that "The U.S. will no longer be a democracy" within 10 years.

Economy

Voters consistently cited the economy as their top issue in the 2024 election. 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. 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."

The chief divide between the two major parties on the economy going into the election cycle were the incumbent Democrats pointing out that the economy was strong and well on its way to recovering from the effects of worldwide inflation, initially coining the term "Bidenomics", but acknowledging that goods were still too expensive and promising action to increase affordability. Republicans argued that the economy was better while they were in office, and promised to quickly bring down inflation, increase tariffs, and cut taxes and regulations.

Immigration

Border security and immigration were among the top issues concerning potential voters in the election. Polling throughout the election cycle showed that most Americans wanted to reduce immigration. Soon after President Biden assumed office in 2021, entries into the US began to rise, worsening in 2023 and early 2024 as a surge of migrants through the border with Mexico occurred, causing record high levels of illegal entry into the US. By June 2024, illegal crossings reached a three-year low following four consecutive monthly drops, which senior government officials attributed to increased enforcement between the United States and Mexico, the weather, and Biden's executive order which increased asylum restrictions, but were still higher than average numbers recorded by the former Trump administration.

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. 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. (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".

Abortion referendums were on the ballot in 10 states in 2024: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York and South Dakota.

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.

Many cities and universities 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. Domestic American Pro-Israel groups had meanwhile spent large sums of money to support pro-Israel candidates against candidates critical of the Israeli government. According to a campaign finance analysis by Politico, AIPAC was the "biggest source of Republican money flowing into competitive Democratic primaries this year."

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 based upon the 2020 census. In each state, the presidential electors who actually 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. 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. Harris is the first nominee who did not participate in the primaries since Vice President Hubert Humphrey, also in 1968. Other candidates that entered the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries include Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, self-help author Marianne Williamson, and businessman Jason Palmer, all of whom later suspended their campaigns and endorsed Biden, except Williamson who continued to suspend and un-suspend her campaign. This was the first election since 1968 in which an eligible incumbent President was not their party's nominee. 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. She became the official nominee on August 5 following a virtual roll call of delegates.

In November 2022, former President Donald Trump announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. 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. 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. Trump won the nomination easily; he was formally nominated at the Republican Convention on July 15, his third consecutive presidential nomination.

In October 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his run as an independent presidential candidate. On August 23, 2024, Kennedy announced he was suspending his campaign and backing Trump. In July, intermediaries between Trump and Kennedy discussed a possible role for Kennedy in the Trump administration in return for his endorsement; a month later, Kennedy made similar overtures to the Harris campaign, but was rebuffed.

Senate elections

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.

Special elections

Two special elections were held to fill the unexpired terms of senators who vacated their seats during the 118th Congress:

• Nebraska Class 2: Republican Ben Sasse resigned his seat on January 8, 2023, to become President of the University of Florida. Pete Ricketts was appointed by Nebraska governor Jim Pillen to fill the seat until the special election, which took place concurrently with the regularly-scheduled 2024 Senate elections.
• California Class 1: Democrat Dianne Feinstein died on September 29, 2023. Laphonza Butler was appointed by California governor Gavin Newsom to fill the seat until the special election, which took place concurrently with the regular election for a six-year term.

House of Representatives elections

All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election. Additionally, elections were held to select the non-voting members who represent the District of Columbia and all five permanently-inhabited U.S. territories in the House of Representatives. Republicans held a narrow majority in the House of Representatives following the 2022 U.S. House elections.

In a June Comanche Nation runoff, Lisa Dawsey was elected tribal administrator and law firm Crowe & Dunlevy was elected tribal attorney. Also in June, Minnesota Chippewa Tribe voters elected Bruce Savage to lead the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and reelected Cathy Chavers as head of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, Faron Jackson Sr. of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and Michael Fairbanks of the White Earth Nation. Grand Portage Band of Chippewa chairperson Robert Deschampe was unopposed.

The Crow Tribe reelected Frank White Clay as tribal chair; Chippewa Cree Business Committee Chair Harlan Baker was also reelected.

Referendums

In January, three proposed Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes constitutional amendments failed after only 11.3% of voters returned ballots, short of the 30% voter turnout required for constitutional amendments to pass by the tribe's constitution.

In June, the Cherokee Nation rejected a referendum calling for a constitutional convention to amend or replace the tribe's constitution by a margin of 69.5% to 30.5%. Also in June, the Osage Nation voters approved 76.9% to 23.1% a constitutional amendment allowing the Osage Congress to reject executive appointees during a special session. A Kiowa Tribe referendum scheduled for June that would have raised citizens' blood quantum was cancelled. A measure to approve opening of a retail cannabis dispensary on the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs reservation was not approved due to low voter turnout; the measure received approval from a majority of voters, but it required the approval of one-third of all eligible voters.

In July, Seneca Nation voters rejected a referendum to establish a tribal police department.

In October, the Yurok Tribe voted in favor of removing blood quantum requirements for membership with a descent-based tribal membership in an advisory referendum. The Yurok tribal council will decide whether or not to amend membership requirements in the tribe's constitution.

Table of state, territorial, and federal results

This table shows the partisan results of presidential, congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative races held in each state and territory in 2024. Note that not all states and territories hold gubernatorial, state legislative, and Senate elections in 2024. The five territories and Washington, D.C., do not elect members of the Senate, and the territories do not take part in presidential elections; instead, they each elect one non-voting member of the House. Nebraska's unicameral legislature and the governorship and legislature of American Samoa are elected on a non-partisan basis, and political party affiliation is not listed.

Political violence

Assassination attempts

On July 13, 2024, during an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump 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. 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, 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.

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.

On November 4, 2024, a white supremacist was arrested for plotting an attack on an electrical substation in Nashville, Tennessee. On November 5, a man was arrested at the U.S. Capitol under suspicion of an attempted arson attack.

Foreign interference

Several foreign nations reportedly interfered in the 2024 United States elections, including China, Iran, and Russia. The efforts largely focused on propaganda and disinformation campaigns using inauthentic accounts on social media, stoking domestic divisions, and denigrating the United States and democracy more broadly.
