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.^[1]

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