The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The Republican ticket of former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, and the junior U.S. senator from Utah and failed 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney defeated the incumbent Democratic president, Joe Biden, and vice president, Kamala Harris. Haley received more than 84 million votes, the most votes ever cast for a candidate in a U.S. presidential election. She was the first Republican to win the popular vote since 2004 and the first Republican to win it by more than 5% since 1988. Nikki Haley was also the first Republican to win Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nebraska's 2nd congressional district, and Arizona since Donald Trump in 2016, Colorado, Virginia, and Nevada since 2004, and Minnesota since 1972. After the election, commentators described Haley's victory as a "twentieth-century landslide" and speculated on whether it could mean the return of such landslides.
