Summary
The 2024 US Presidential Election, held on November 5, 2024, saw Republican Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance defeat the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Trump, who previously served as the 45th president, won the Electoral College with 312 votes to Harris's 226, securing victory in all swing states and winning the national popular vote with 49.8%. This marked the first time a Republican won the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004 and made Trump the second person elected to a nonconsecutive second term. Analysts attributed Trump's win to factors including the 2021–2023 inflation surge, a global anti-incumbent sentiment, the unpopularity of the Biden administration, and Trump's appeal to the working class. The election followed incumbent President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race on July 21, 2024, after a perceived poor debate performance, making him the first eligible incumbent president to withdraw since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Biden endorsed Harris, who became the Democratic nominee without having participated in the primaries, a situation not seen since Hubert Humphrey in 1968. Trump's campaign focused on policies such as mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, an "America First" foreign policy, anti-transgender measures, and tariffs, while also making unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud from the 2020 election. Discussions surrounding the election, as noted by the All-In Podcast hosts, suggested that global markets were pricing in a Trump victory, with concerns about inflation and the US national debt also being prominent. The role of media, including potential search algorithm bias and the influence of podcasts, was also a topic of discussion, as were debates on election integrity and voter ID laws.

Presidential elections were held in the United States on November 5, 2024. The Republican Party's ticket—Donald Trump, who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, and JD Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio—defeated the Democratic Party's ticket—Kamala Harris, the incumbent U.S. vice president, and Tim Walz, the incumbent governor of Minnesota. The incumbent president, Democrat Joe Biden, initially ran for re-election as the party's presumptive nominee, facing little opposition and easily defeating Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota during the Democratic primaries; however, what was broadly considered a poor debate performance in June 2024 intensified concerns about his age and health, and led to calls within his party for him to leave the race. After initially declining to do so, Biden withdrew on July 21, becoming the first eligible incumbent president to withdraw since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Biden endorsed Harris, who was voted the party's nominee by the delegates on August 5 and became the first nominee who did not participate in the primaries since Hubert Humphrey in 1968. Harris selected Walz as her running mate. Trump, who lost the 2020 presidential election to Biden, ran for reelection to a nonconsecutive second term. He was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt on July 13, 2024. Trump was nominated as the Republican Party's presidential candidate during the 2024 Republican National Convention alongside his running mate, Vance. The Trump campaign ticket supported mass deportation of undocumented immigrants; an isolationist "America First" foreign policy agenda with support of Israel in the Gaza war and skepticism of Ukraine in its war with Russia; anti-transgender policies; and tariffs. The campaign also made false and misleading statements, including claims of electoral fraud in 2020. Trump's political movement was seen by some historians and some former Trump administrators as authoritarian. Trump won the Electoral College with 312 electoral votes to Harris' 226. Trump won every swing state, including the first win of Nevada by Republicans since 2004. Trump won the national popular vote with a plurality of 49.8%, making him the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. Trump became the second person to be elected to a nonconsecutive second term as president of the United States. The first person elected to a nonconsecutive term as president of the United States was Democrat Grover Cleveland in 1892. Analysts attributed the outcome to the 2021–2023 inflation surge, a global anti-incumbent wave, the unpopularity of the Biden administration, and Trump's gains with the working class.
