2024 United States Presidential Election

The 2024 United States Presidential Election was the 60th Quadrennial Presidential Election. The Republican ticket of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defeated the Democratic ticket of former Senator Kamala Harris and Senator Cory Booker and the new Progressive Party nominee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rishada Tlaib.

Major issues in the election included the Second Cold War and the emerging Iran Crisis. While Governor DeSantis promised to continue President Trump's policies, Senator Harris pledged to reverse most of Trump's policies. A surprise candidate was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a former Representative from New York City. After losing the Democratic nomination to Harris, Ocasio-Cortez left the Democratic Party and founded the Progressive Party, starting the Liberal Schism in America and allowing DeSantis to gain sweeping victories. While many expected the left of America to unite after the election, the damage that had been done would resound in American politics for much of the New Age.
