The 2024 Presidential Election took place on November 5, 2024. This was the first election where more than two political parties were welcomed to debates and the electoral college with Puerto Rico participating in the election for the first time. The Libertarian Party was very popular among former Republicans who were disappointed with their party and The Social Democratic was newly created by President Gabbard and Vice President Turner along with it being very popular among former Democrats who were disappointed with their party too. The race was between Social Democratic President Tulsi Gabbard, Libertarian US Senator of Nebraska Ben Sasse, Democratic US Senator of Texas Beto O'Rourke, and Republican former house speaker Paul Ryan. Gabbard would easily win in a landslide due to her popularity with all four parties, many people considering Sasse's Libertarian ideas as too far right, O'Rourke's and Ryan's histories of corruption and flip flopping on many issues. The results were Gabbard 384, Sasse 125, O'Rourke 17, and Ryan 10. Former President Jimmy Carter passed away a half hour before the final election results with each candidate giving their condolences to the Carter family.
The main topics in the election were the Medicare for all act, the economy, the College for all act, clean and renewable energy, unity in the country, housing, and trade.
