After a term in office, President Joe Biden
was facing mounting questions about his age and health. A poor
debate performance in June 2024 solidified concerns among Americans
about these issues, prompting even some Democrats to call for him to
be removed from the ticket. Then an assassination attempt on former
President Donald Trump briefly changed the national conversation.
Leaders in both parties asked for a change in the political tone.
Donald Trump picked Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio to be his running
mate on the opening day of the Republican National Convention. On
July 21, 2024, President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and
endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris for his nomination. Harris won
the nomination and chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running
mate. Immigration, inflation, the economy, crime, abortion rights,
and foreign policy dominated as the primary election issues. In
their only debate, the consensus was that Harris beat Trump on the
optics, but Trump gained in the polls. Notable shifts in party
endorsements occurred during the 2024 election cycle. Robert Kennedy
Jr., a Democrat, dropped out of the race and endorsed former
President Trump. So did former Democratic U.S. House Representative
Tulsi Gabbard. Former Republican Vice-President Dick Cheney and his
daughter Liz Cheney, a former U.S. Congresswoman, endorsed Kamala
Harris. The election cycle had many twists and turns. There was a
second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Allegations of
immigrants eating pets, pets being euthanized by government, and
accusations of lawfare against Donald Trump by the Democratic Party
dominated the conversation apart from the issues. Another notable
campaign point in the Democratic Party's campaign was their claim
that Donald Trump encouraged the January 6, 2021 attack on the
Capitol building and criminal convictions of Donald Trump, which
many Republicans saw as spurious charges. In foreign policy, both
parties saw divisions in their ranks. The war in Ukraine split
Republican Party voters. The war in Israel and Gaza split Democratic
Party voters. In the end, economic concerns, crime, foreign affairs,
and worries about domestic issues prompted voters to re-elect Donald
Trump. Donald Trump becomes the second president in U.S. history to
be elected to two non-consecutive terms. Grover Cleveland was the
first to accomplish this in 1892. Trump's victory is also the best
margin in the Electoral College for a Republican since 1988 as he won all
seven of the
swing states. It is also the first Republican victory in the popular
vote since 2004.
