Trump has become the first Republican to win the nation's popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. Despite winning the electoral college victory in 2016, Trump lost the popular vote by about 3 million that year and by about 7 million in 2020.
Forced to come to terms with his slim chances at winning in November, President Biden announced on July 21 that he would end his bid for reelection. With just over three months until Election Day, Biden’s decision not to run for a second term turned what would have been a rematch between the two 2020 candidates into an uncertain race, leading many Democrats– including Biden himself– to show support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy. She was officially named the Democratic nominee at the Democratic Convention on August 19 through 22. In early August, Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the election in November.
The Republican National Convention saw the official confirmation of Donald Trump as Republican presidential nominee and J.D. Vance as his running mate. Throughout his campaign, Trump was the target of two assassination attempts, marking the first presidential assassination attempt in the U.S. since Ronald Reagan in 1981. Since his presidency, Trump faced numerous legal challenges, including questions about his election eligibility, two House impeachments, and nearly 100 criminal charges related to election interference, attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, and falsifying records. On May 30, 2024, he was convicted on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records linked to a 2016 sex scandal. Despite being the first U.S. president to be a convicted felon, he remained eligible for reelection and maintained strong Republican support, with many viewing the charges as politically motivated.

The election of the president and vice president of the United States is an indirect election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the fifty U.S. states or in Washington, D.C., cast ballots not directly for those offices, but instead for members of the Electoral College. The Apportionment Act of 1929 set the framework for the allocation of electoral votes in the U.S., which remains at a total of 538 votes.These electors then cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, for president and for vice president. The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes (at least 270 out of 538, since the Twenty-Third Amendment granted voting rights to citizens of D.C.) is then elected to that office. This includes 100 Senators (2 per state), 435 House Representatives (apportioned based on population), and 3 votes for the District of Columbia.For example, California has 55 electors because it has a large population, while smaller states like Wyoming have just 3 electors.The winner of the popular vote in each state generally wins all of that state's electors (except in Maine and Nebraska, where they use a slightly different system).What system do Nebraska and Maine use?
Nebraska and Maine use a proportional system for the Electoral College, which is different from the "winner-takes-all" system used by most other states.
Here's how it works:
Congressional District Method: Instead of awarding all electoral votes to the winner of the statewide popular vote, Nebraska and Maine divide their electoral votes between the candidates based on the results in each Congressional district.
Each state has two Senate seats, so they each have two electoral votes that are awarded to the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote.
The remaining electoral votes (which are based on the number of Congressional districts) are awarded based on who wins in each of the individual districts.
For example: In Maine, there are 2 Senate seats (2 electoral votes) and 2 Congressional districts (2 more electoral votes). If a candidate wins the popular vote in one district, they get 1 electoral vote from that district, and if they win the statewide vote, they get 1 additional electoral vote. The same principle applies to Nebraska.
Possible Outcome: This method allows for more splitting of electoral votes. For instance, if a candidate wins 3 out of 5 districts, they might get 3 electoral votes, and the other candidate could win the remaining 2. The statewide vote winner would get the 2 extra electoral votes.
This system allows for a more proportional allocation of electoral votes, meaning a state's vote count can reflect a closer division of support between the candidates, rather than giving all electoral votes to the winner of the state’s popular vote.
If no candidate receives an absolute majority of the votes for president, the House of Representatives elects the president; likewise if no one receives an absolute majority of the votes for vice president, then the Senate elects the vice president.
Furthermore, most of the time, the winner as determined by the electoral college also has received the largest part of the national popular vote. There have been four exceptions: 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016, in which the Electoral College winner's portion of the popular vote was surpassed by an opponent. Although taking fewer votes, the winner claimed more electoral college seats, due to winning close and narrow pluralities in numerous swing states.
Due to the winner-take-all method that most states use to determine their presidential electors, candidates often campaign only in competitive states, which is why a select group of states frequently receives a majority of the advertisements and candidate visits.The battlegrounds may change in certain election cycles and may be reflected in overall polling, demographics, and the ideological appeal of the nominees.

In addition, the 1824 election was the only presidential election under the current system decided by a contingent election in Congress that elected a different president than the candidate with a plurality in both the electoral and popular vote. (The 1800 election and the 1824 election were decided in the House which made John Quincy Adams victorious. In 1800 the House winner, Thomas Jefferson, was the candidate who had won a plurality of the popular vote.)
Presidential elections occur every four years on Election Day, which since 1845 has been the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
The Electoral College electors then formally cast their electoral votes on the first Monday after December 12 at their state's capital. Congress then certifies the results in early January, and the presidential term begins on Inauguration Day, which since the passage of the Twentieth Amendment has been set on January 20th. Until 1937, presidents were not sworn in until March 4 because it took a long time to count and report ballots, and because of the winner's logistical issues in moving to the capital.

The 2020 U.S. Census data revealed notable shifts in population across the country, which directly influenced the number of House Representatives each state is entitled to. Since each Representative corresponds to one electoral vote, these population changes also indirectly affect a state’s electoral votes. Some states, like Texas and Florida, saw significant population increases, leading to gains in both Congressional seats and electoral votes. Meanwhile, states like California and New York, which experienced slower growth or population declines, lost seats and, therefore, electoral votes.
This shift in electoral vote allocation will have lasting implications, as the new distribution will be used in determining the outcome of U.S. presidential elections over the next 10 years. This reapportionment will not only affect how states are represented in Congress but also how their political influence is felt on the national stage, particularly in presidential elections.
This system was designed by the founders to balance the influence of both large and small states, and while it’s helped elect presidents like George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016, who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College, it has also sparked debates about whether it's the best way to choose a president.

Trump’s campaign says he has accepted President Biden’s invitation to meet at the White House to discuss the presidential transition.
It was decades ago when Kamala Harris forged her political identity on the grounds of Howard University. And on Wednesday, she returned to the campus to mark the end of her short, historic run for the White House.
Less than 24 hours from when she was expected to address a waiting jubilant crowd, Harris stood in front of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hall at her alma mater. Gone were the throngs of Howard students hoping to see one of their own lead the country. Instead, forlorn and crying staffers were front and center, hoping to hear their boss help them process the loss.
“While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. The fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and for the dignity of all people. A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation. The ideals that reflect an America at our best. That is a fight I will never give up,” the vice president said.
“Do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands, this is a time to roll up our sleeves,” Harris told the crowd. “The fight for our freedom will take hard work. But like I say, hard work is good work, hard work can be joyful work, and the fight for our country is always worth it.”
World leaders rushed to congratulate Trump as votes were still being counted after early projected wins in key battleground states.
Donald Trump is set to enter the White House again. In his victory speech, he indicated one of the major policy decisions he will make will likely be about working to end wars around the world. Though he did not say where, Ukraine and Israel have been cited by geopolitical experts as the likely focus of Trump 2.0.
"I'm not going to start wars, I'm going to stop wars," the Republican US presidential nominee said in his victory speech.
"We had no wars, for four years we had no wars. Except we defeated ISIS," Mr Trump said.

Trump all the way

*Debate*
Four general election debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) were originally scheduled to be held between September 16 and October 9, 2024. Both Biden and Trump opposed the CPD's debate format and schedule. In May 2024, both campaigns agreed to bypass the CPD and hold the alternative debates, canceling the CPD debates.
In April 2022, the Republican National Committee voted unanimously to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). In May 2024, the Biden campaign proposed hosting two debates outside of the CPD timetable and refusing to participate in CPD-hosted debates.
The 2024 United States presidential debates were a series of debates held during the 2024 presidential election.
Three debates in total were held during the election season. The first general election debate between the major candidates was sponsored by CNN and attended by then-presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on June 27, 2024. Biden was widely considered to have performed poorly during the first debate, with many commentators and Democrats calling for him to drop out of the race. He withdrew his bid for re-election on July 21. A second debate, sponsored by ABC, was held on September 10 between Trump and Kamala Harris; it was widely reported that Harris won. A vice presidential debate, which was sponsored by CBS, was held on October 1.
Various debates and forums have been held, sponsored by the Free & Equal Elections Foundation.

2024 United States Presidential Election: The Path to victory.
The 2024 United States Presidential election was scheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. It was the 60th quadrennial election ( when I said quadrennial, it means it's once in every four years). The winners are scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, as the 47th president and 50th vice president of the United States, respectively.
The candidates and their supporters are describing it as the most important election of their lifetimes with democracy and the American way of life are at stake.

Who are the contestants?
Let's start with the minor candidates who participated in the election through third and independent parties.
First on the list is Chase Oliver, a candidate of the Libertarian Party, who used to be a Democrat, narrowly won his party’s nomination in May. Mr. Oliver said he became politically active as an opponent of the Iraq War, and he opposes Israel’s actions in Gaza and wants to abolish the Federal Reserve.
He previously ran for Senate in Georgia in 2022, and received about 2 percent of the vote, enough to force a runoff between Senator Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker.

The second person in no particular is Jill Stein, the Green Party's candidate for president of the United States in the 2024 election, and was previously its candidate in the 2012 and 2016 elections. She was the Green-Rainbow Party's candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 2002 and 2010. Stein is among the list of several women who have run for President of the United States and also one of the few who received over a million votes in the general election behind both Hillary Clinton and Jo Jorgensen. Ms. Stein drew some 1.4 million votes in 2016, and some Democrats blamed her for pulling support from Hillary Clinton in critical states.

Next is Claudia De la Cruz, a socialist candidate, who is running on the ticket of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
4. Cornel West has taught at Yale, Princeton and Harvard and is currently a professor of philosophy at Union Theological Seminary. He is known for his progressive activism, including his sharp criticism of former President Barack Obama.
Dr. West initially said he would run with the People’s Party, a third party led by a former campaign staff member for Senator Bernie Sanders. He subsequently said he would seek the Green Party’s nomination instead, and then switched again to run as an independent.

5. Peter Sonski  is a member of the American Solidarity Party, Sonski is the party's nominee for president in the 2024 United States presidential election.

6. Shiva Ayyadurai is an independent candidate in the US presidential election. He garnered 3.39% of the vote as an independent candidate in the 2018 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, and ran for the Republican Party in the 2020 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts but lost to Kevin O'Connor in the primary.

However, apart from the minor contestants mentioned, these are the two major candidates in the US presidential election that people will look out for:
1. Donald Trump registered as a Republican in 1987; later, a member of the Independence Party
Then, the New York state affiliate of the Reform Party, in 1999. A Democrat in 2001; a Republican in 2009; unaffiliated in 2011; and a Republican in 2012.
On November 8, 2016, Trump received 306 pledged electoral votes versus 232 for Clinton, though, after elector defections on both sides, the official count was ultimately 304 to 227. Trump, the fifth person to be elected president while losing the popular vote, received nearly 2.9 million fewer votes than Clinton.He also was the only president who neither served in the military nor held any government office prior to becoming president.
Biden won the election on November 3, 2020, receiving 81.3 million votes (51.3 percent) to Trump's 74.2 million (46.8 percent) and 306 Electoral College votes to Trump's 232, though Trump refused to concede defeat.
On November 15, 2022, Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election and set up a fundraising account.
On July 13, 2024, Trump's ear was grazed by a bullet in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania. The campaign declined to disclose medical records. Two days later, the 2024 Republican National Convention nominated Trump as their presidential candidate, with Senator JD Vance as his running mate.
2. The incumbent president, Joe Biden of the Democratic Party, initially ran for re-election and became the party's presumptive nominee, facing little opposition. However, Biden's performance in the presidential debate held in June 2024 intensified concerns about his age and health, and led to calls within his party for him to leave the race. Although he was initially adamant he would remain in the race, Biden withdrew on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the party's nominee on August 5. Harris selected Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, as her running mate. Harris is the Democratic Party's nominee for president in the 2024 election. She is the highest-ranking female official in the U.S. history. From 2017 to 2021, she represented California in the United States Senate. Before that, she was the attorney general of California.

Who is your preferred candidate?

*Campaign*
Harris has framed her campaign as "a choice between freedom and chaos" and based it around the ideals of "freedom" and "the future".Harris has focused her economic proposals on the cost of groceries, housing and healthcare.She has also focused on the middle class, and small businesses. Harris' campaign has been noted for having an optimistic and joyful tone.

A central campaign theme for Trump's second presidential bid is "retribution".Trump is heavily running on immigration as a central campaign focus. Trump's campaign has focused on dark and apocalyptic rhetoric about the state of the country and predicting doom if he does not win.

*Abortion
Abortion access is a key topic during the campaign. Abortion will be on the ballot in up to ten states in 2024, including the swing states of Arizona and Nevada. Some pundits have argued abortion rights referenda could help Harris in November.
Democrats predominantly advocate for abortion access as a right, while Republicans generally favor significantly restricting the legality of abortion.

*Immigration
Border security and immigration are among the top issues concerning potential voters in the election. Polling has shown that most Americans want to reduce immigration and that a substantial minority of white Republicans are concerned about white demographic decline. In 2023 and early 2024, a surge of migrants entering through the border with Mexico occurred. By June 2024, illegal crossings reached a three-year low following four consecutive monthly drops, which senior officials attributed to increased enforcement between the US and Mexico, the weather, and Biden's executive order increasing asylum restrictions.

*Climate change
Climate change is expected to be an issue in the 2024 presidential election. In 2023, the United States saw a record in crude oil production with over 13.2 million barrels of crude per day beating the 13 million barrels per day produced at the peak of Trump's presidency .America also dealt with supply shocks caused by the 2021–2024 global energy crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Russian invasion of Ukraine.

*Economy
Voters consistently cited the economy as their top issue in the 2024 election. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, America went through a surge in inflation that raised prices on many goods, though the inflation rate had declined significantly during 2023 and 2024.

*Foreign Policy
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Israel–Hamas war are expected issues in the election.

*LGBTQ
In recent years, conservative politicians in state legislatures have introduced a growing number of bills that Democrats say restrict the rights of LGBT people, especially transgender people
