The 1884 United States presidential election was the 25th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 4, 1884. In the election, Governor Grover Cleveland of New York defeated Republican James G. Blaine of Maine. It was set apart by unpleasant mudslinging and shameful personal allegations that eclipsed substantive issues, such as civil administration change. Cleveland was the first Democrat elected President of the United States since James Buchanan in 1856, the first to hold office since Andrew Johnson left the White House in 1869, and the last to hold office until Woodrow Wilson, who began his first term in 1913. For this reason, 1884 is a significant election in U.S. political history, marking an interruption in the era when Republicans largely controlled the presidency between Reconstruction and the Great Depression.
Cleveland won the presidential nomination on the second ballot of the 1884 Democratic National Convention. President Chester A. Arthur had acceded to the presidency in 1881 following the assassination of James A. Garfield, but he was unsuccessful in his bid for nomination to a full term. Blaine, who had served as Secretary of State under President Garfield, defeated Arthur and other candidates on the fourth ballot of the 1884 Republican National Convention. A group of reformist Republicans known as "Mugwumps" abandoned Blaine's candidacy, viewing him as corrupt. The campaign was marred by exceptional political acrimony and personal invective. Blaine's reputation for public corruption and his inadvertent last-minute alienation of Catholic voters proved decisive.
In the election, Cleveland won 48.9% of the nationwide popular vote and 219 electoral votes, carrying the Solid South and several key swing states. Blaine won 48.3% of the popular vote and 182 electoral votes. Cleveland won his home state by just 1,149 votes; had he lost New York, he would have lost the election. Two third-party candidates, John St. John of the Prohibition Party and Benjamin Butler of the Greenback Party and the Anti-Monopoly Party, each won less than 2% of the popular vote. Blaine was the last former Secretary of State to be nominated by a major political party until the nomination of Hillary Clinton in 2016, while Cleveland became the only sitting Democratic president between the end of the Civil War and the election of Woodrow Wilson in the 1912 United States presidential election, a span of almost 50 years. Blaine, similarly, also became the only Republican nominee in the 56-year period between 1860 and 1916 to never win a presidential election, and just one of three nominees from that party to never win the presidency in the 80-year span between 1856 and 1936.

The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, were re-elected to a second term. They defeated Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and Independent (United States) former President Donald Trump.
Incumbent President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were re-nominated virtually unopposed. The Republican primary, by contrast, was fiercely fought between Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and former President Donald Trump. Governor DeSantis prevailed by a slim margin at the 2024 Republican National Convention, which caused several Trump delegates, along with former President Trump to walk out of the assembly. The following day, Trump announced an independent candidacy for President of the United States, alleging that DeSantis was nominated illegitimately.
Domestically, key issues of the campaign included the slow recovery of an economic malaise originating with the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, election integrity, crime and controversy surrounding former President and Independent candidate Donald Trump. For the conclusion of the War in Ukraine,
President Biden led virtually every poll since the Republican Convention due to the split in the Republican Party.
Biden won re-election by a substantial margin, recieving X Electoral Votes compared to X Electoral Votes for DeSantis and X Electoral Votes for Trump. Biden became the first Democrat to win the state of Alaska since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 and to win
Donald Trump and incumbent vice president Mike Pence.[4] The election took place against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic and related recession. It was the first election since 1992 in which the incumbent president failed to win a second term. The election saw the highest voter turnout by percentage since 1900,[5] with each of the two main tickets receiving more than 74 million votes, surpassing Barack Obama's record of 69.5 million votes from 2008. Biden received more than 81 million votes,[6] the most votes ever cast for a candidate in a U.S. presidential election.[7]
In a competitive primary that featured the most candidates for any political party in the modern era of American politics, Biden secured the Democratic presidential nomination over his closest rival, Senator Bernie Sanders. Biden's running mate, Harris, became the first African-American, first Asian-American, and third female[b] vice presidential nominee on a major party ticket. Trump secured re-nomination against token opposition in the Republican primaries. Jo Jorgensen secured the Libertarian presidential nomination with Spike Cohen as her running mate, and Howie Hawkins secured the Green presidential nomination with Angela Nicole Walker as his running mate.
The central issues of the election included the public health and economic impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; civil unrest in reaction to the police murder of George Floyd and others; the Supreme Court following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett; and the future of the Affordable Care Act.[8][9][10] Due to the ongoing pandemic, a record number of ballots were cast early and by mail.[11] Many more registered Democrats voted by mail than registered Republicans.[12][13] As a result of a large number of mail-in ballots, some swing states saw delays in vote counting and reporting; this led to major news outlets delaying their projection of Biden and Harris as the president-elect and vice president-elect until the morning of November 7, three and a half days after the election. Major media networks project a state for a candidate once there is high statistical confidence that the outstanding vote would be unlikely to prevent the projected winner from ultimately winning that state.[14]
Biden ultimately received the majority in the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes, while Trump received 232. Key to Biden's victory were his wins in the Democratic-leaning Great Lakes states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which Trump carried in 2016 and whose combined 46 electoral votes were enough to swing the election to either candidate. Biden also became the first Democrat to win the presidential election in Georgia since 1992, in Arizona since 1996, and in Nebraska's 2nd congressional district since 2008.[15][16]
Before, during, and after Election Day, Trump and numerous other Republicans attempted to subvert the election and overturn the results, falsely alleging widespread voter fraud and trying to influence the vote-counting process in swing states.[17][18][19][20] Attorney General William Barr and officials in each of the 50 states found no evidence of widespread fraud or irregularities in the election.[21][22] Federal agencies overseeing election security said it was the most secure in American history.[23][24][25] The Trump campaign and its allies, including Republican members of Congress,[26] continued to engage in numerous attempts to overturn the results of the election by filing 63 lawsuits in several states (all of which were withdrawn or dismissed),[27][28][29] spreading conspiracy theories alleging fraud,[30] pressuring Republican state election officials (including, notably, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in a phone call that later became widely publicized) and legislators to change results,[31] pressuring the Department of Justice to declare the election "corrupt" and intervene,[32][33] objecting to the Electoral College certification in Congress,[34][35] and refusing to cooperate with the presidential transition of Joe Biden.[36] This culminated in a mob of Trump supporters attacking the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, after Trump repeatedly said that he would never concede the election.[37][38][39] On January 7, however, Trump acknowledged the incoming administration without mentioning Biden's name.[40][41][42] Biden and Harris were inaugurated on January 20, 2021.
