President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will face each other again in the U.S. presidential election on November 5, 2024. This rematch is the first in nearly 70 years and is expected to be a closely fought and divisive contest. Several third-party candidates are also running.
Donald Trump, who was in office from 2017 to 2021, has secured the Republican nomination despite facing multiple legal challenges, including 88 charges in four criminal cases. Trump has used these challenges to rally his base, framing his campaign as a fight against political enemies. His campaign rhetoric has been intense, and he has not committed to accepting the election results or ruling out possible violence if he loses.
