Showdown: Trump Faces Harris in High-Stakes 2024 Presidential Election

Former President Donald Trump will challenge Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 2024 U.S. presidential election. Trump, 78, is running amid legal battles, while Harris, 59, aims to continue Biden's policies. Third-party candidates such as Cornel West, Jill Stein, and Chase Oliver are also in the race.

In a striking political twist, former President Donald Trump will face off against Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election set for November 5. This announcement follows President Joe Biden's decision to end his reelection bid.

Trump, at 78, secured the Republican nomination during the party convention in Milwaukee, surviving an assassination attempt during his campaign. Despite facing several legal challenges, Trump continues to push his false claims about the 2020 election being stolen. He has chosen U.S. Senator JD Vance as his running mate.

On the Democratic side, Harris, 59, secured her party's nomination after Biden's exit. She aims to build on Biden's policies and has proposed a comprehensive economic plan. Harris leads in recent national polls, highlighting a close race. Key labor groups have also endorsed her campaign.

In addition to the primary candidates, third-party hopefuls like Cornel West, Jill Stein, and Chase Oliver are also vying for the presidency, promising to reshape the political landscape.
