Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election for a second, non-consecutive term, after losing to Biden in 2020.[11] He was nominated during the 2024 Republican National Convention along with his running mate, Ohio senator JD Vance. The Trump campaign has been noted for making many false and misleading statements, including the false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump,[12][13][14][15] engaging in anti-immigrant fearmongering,[d] and promoting conspiracy theories.[16][17] Trump's perceived embrace of far-right extremism,[16][17] as well as increasingly violent, dehumanizing, and authoritarian rhetoric against his political opponents,[e] has been described by historians and scholars as populist, authoritarian, fascist,[f] unlike anything a political candidate has ever said in U.S. history,[18][19][20] and a continued breaking of political norms.[21] The Republican Party has made efforts to disrupt the 2024 presidential election as part of a larger election denial movement among U.S. conservatives. In May 2024, Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, becoming the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.[22] He remains under multiple indictments for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, his role in the January 6 attack, and his election racketeering prosecution in the state of Georgia. Trump survived an assassination attempt in July 2024 during a campaign rally.[23]
