2024 in the United States
The following is a list of events of the year 2024 in the United States. With the dominant political story of this year being the 2024 presidential election, most American-focused media outlets routinely have been covering the nominees, with Donald Trump becoming the second president in American history to win two non-consecutive terms, defeating Democratic vice president Kamala Harris who became her party's nominee after incumbent president Joe Biden withdrew from the race. American politics have also focused on responses to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas which started in the year prior, particularly the protests on college campuses against Israel, recent developments in abortion policy, and the passing of a law that could potentially ban TikTok. Much of the national media has also paid close attention to Trump's civil and criminal trials as well as two assassination attempts on Trump, one in July and another in September. Wikipedia
