The 2024 United States Presidential Election took place on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. Joe Biden had a decent first term with no major accomplishments but no major bad events. Vice President, Kamala Harris and New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo were both favorites to get the nomination in 2024. After Super Tuesday there was no stopping Kamala Harris and she later got the nomination. She'd nominate Former Texas Congressman, Beto O'Rourke for Vice President. The Republicans were very divided for a candidate. At the start the front runners were former South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley, former Vice President, Mike Pence, and former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. After a strong showing in Super Tuesday is when Nikki Haley took the lead in polling and would later narrowly win the Republican nomination against Mike Pence. She'd nominate Texas Congressman, Dan Crenshaw for Vice President. This was the first time in American history where 2 females were nominated for president and basically confirmed the first female president. The Libertarian Party had nominated former Michigan Congressman, Justin Amash for president and nominated Jacob Hornberger, a politician from Virginia as his running mate. The Green Party had nominated former Minnesota governor, Jesse Ventura for president and nominated John Eder, a politician from Maine as his running mate. Finally the Independent Party had nominated Mindy Finn, a politician from Texas for president and had nominated Joe Schriner, an activist from Ohio for vice president.

Campaigns
The Campaign Season was a very fast and tense one. Many scandals were brought up about both candidates. At the start Nikki Haley had a strong lead over Kamala Harris but after Harris proved all her critics wrong and found dirt on Haley her polling numbers raised by about 10.2% within 2 weeks. Many forecasts still had it being a very narrow election and popular vote. Harris had campaigned in states like Arizona, Florida, and Georgia while her vice presidential pick, Beto O'Rourke did campaigning it states like Texas, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The Haley / Crenshaw ticket had done the exact same. Also this campaign season was remembered for random outbursts from the nominees. On July 14th Dan Crenshaw had tweeted: "Kamala Harris truly is a Cuban. She betrayed her country and she isn't even African-American!" which this attack would backfire. Later on August 1st is when Beto O'Rourke tweeted: "Dan Crenshaw thinks he's a real Texan just for being elected to the house. I worked for the community and worked my way up into congressman where Crenshaw did not work.". During the 2024 DNC and 2024 RNC both candidates saw bumps in polling after good acceptance speeches. Later due to Nikki's fall in polling in around Early-October is when Senate minority leader, John Thune had launched an investigation on Kamala Harris for one case when she was California Attorney General. This hurt Harris's numbers by around 5% and Chuck Schumer had later launched an investigation on Haley for leaked audio tapes of her in a phone-call with Senator, Tim Scott and her asking him to help her win the election. Going into election night polling was neck and neck between Harris and Haley and no one knew who would be elected the 46th President and the first female president in American history.

2024 DNC
The 2024 Democratic National Convention took place through August 4th - August 8th, 2024. Many say this was a very good DNC with many notable speeches such as Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and etc.

Day 1
On night 1 of the DNC it started off slow with many people the general public did not know. The real first head-liner was Leonardo DiCaprio giving a speech about how America can't let evil take over (referring to Mike Pence and Nikki Haley). He would later act a scene in a movie after his main speech.

The next speech which many considered a head-liner was Katie Porter's speech. Porter had talked about her personal life and had said how she worked her way up into the House of Representatives and also mentioned how Mike Pence and Nikki Haley never worked their way to the top and got it handed to them. A huge speech which was considered the main speech of the night was former First Lady, Michelle Obama. Similar to Porter, Michelle gave her personal story about how she found the love of her life, Barack and had children and later became first lady. After that she said even after she left the White House she still had her family with her. Many consider this the best speech of day 1.

Another head-liner was California Governor, Gavin Newsom who was becoming an unpopular governor due to leaks that had came out the previous year in 2023. Newsom had mentioned many bad things Pence did in the Trump White House and tried to dismiss his scandals and claimed these were all made up by Republicans just to get him cancelled. Another notable speech was Caroline Kennedy who had brought up her family's upcoming and her experience in the Obama administration. She also brought up her son, Jack and how she loved him.

The 2nd speech until the grand finish was Tim Ryan's speech. Ryan brought up how we fought for the state of Ohio during it's worse and hard times and made the case that Pence and Haley never fought for the American people and only fought for themselves. During his speech he leaked that he might try to become the House Minority Leader after the death of Jim Clyburn earlier that year. The final speech and probably the biggest speech was Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders. Bernie had brought up his whole life story about how he wanted to fight for Vermont. He later brought up how he became a Representative, then Senator, then one of the biggest names in the progressive wing of the Democratic party. He told many of his supporters to vote for Harris due to her intelligence, strength, and as he said "She has fought for California, even mistake or not she is a great politician.".

Results
In a landslide, Kamala Harris won the election. Harris had received 425 electoral votes and flipping Texas which hadn't got blue since Jimmy Carter. Nikki Haley only got 113 electoral votes. Harris had flipped the states of Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Maine 2nd, and Ohio. Every election it was looking good for Democrats despite Republicans having control of all types of congress. Kamala Harris became the 46th U.S. President in American history and the first ever female president. Beto O'Rourke also became the 50th Vice President in American history. Many figures in politics despite parties attended Harris's inauguration as it was a historic one.
