—Donald Trump (July 31, 2024)[2]

Donald Trump (R) was the 45th president of the United States. He is the projected winner of the 2024 presidential election.

Trump officially announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on November 15, 2022.[3] Trump became the Republican nominee after receiving a majority of convention delegate votes at the Republican National Convention on July 15, 2024. Trump selected U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate on July 15, 2024.

Trump was first elected to the presidency in 2016. He received 304 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton's 227. Trump was defeated in the 2020 presidential election, receiving 232 electoral votes to Joe Biden's (D) 306.

Trump framed his campaign as a return to his America First agenda, contrasting his administration against the Biden-Harris administration. In his campaign announcement, Trump said, "America's comeback starts right now. When I left office, the United States stood ready for its golden age. [...] Now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. For millions of Americans, the past two years under Joe Biden have been a time of pain, hardship, anxiety, and despair."[4]

Key policy initiatives during Trump's first term included the United States withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and First Step Act in 2018, reducing the size of the ISIS caliphate, and establishing the Space Force as an independent military branch.[5][6] Trump made more than 200 federal judicial appointments, including three U.S. Supreme Court justices.

Trump was born in Queens, New York, in 1946.[22] He attended Fordham University before transferring to the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a B.S. in economics in 1968.[23]

After graduation, Trump joined his family's company, Elizabeth Trump & Son. He took control of the company in 1971 and later renamed it the Trump Organization.[24] He was involved in a variety of real estate and other business ventures in the following years. From 2004 until 2015, Trump hosted and served as executive producer of The Apprentice on NBC.[25][26]

In 1999, Trump ran as a Reform Party presidential candidate; he withdrew from the race in February 2000.[23][27] Between 1987 and 2012, he changed his official party affiliation five times, registering most recently as a Republican in April 2012.[28]

Trump declared his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election on June 16, 2015, and officially received the nomination of the Republican Party on July 19, 2016, at the Republican National Convention. On November 8, 2016, Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States. He received 304 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton's (D) 227.[29]

Donald Trump discussed the economy, trade, abortion, immigration, his indictments, Harris’ 2020 policy positions, the 2020 election results, foreign policy, healthcare, and manufacturing. Trump said the economy during his administration had no inflation, and he would cut taxes if re-elected. Trump said he did a wonderful job handling the pandemic, rebuilt the military, and the stock market at the end of his term was higher than before the pandemic. Trump said the Biden-Harris administration did not create jobs. Trump said he would implement tariffs because China and other countries were ripping America off with high prices, and said America would take in hundreds of billions of dollars. Trump said his Supreme Court appointments resulted in abortion no longer being tied up in the federal government, and that people in states could vote on it. He said he supported in vitro fertilization, and he would not have to veto a national abortion ban because Congress would not have the votes to pass it. Trump said illegal immigrants were destroying the country. He said the Biden-Harris administration was allowing millions of criminals, terrorists, and drug dealers across the border, which was driving up crime. Trump said the indictments against him were the weaponization of the Justice Department, and that the Biden-Harris administration was using them to try and win the election. Trump said Harris changed her policy positions, and said she previously expressed support for fracking bans, defund the police, and confiscating guns. Trump said he did not lose the 2020 presidential election. He said the two most important policies for America were having a strong border and having good elections. On the Israel-Hamas War, Trump said it would not have started if he was president. He said the Biden-Harris administration lifted sanctions against Iran, which allowed Iran to fund terrorist organizations. On the Russia-Ukraine War, Trump said he would negotiate an end to the war, and that Europe should be paying more money to support Ukraine. Trump said the war might lead to a world war. Trump said the Afghanistan withdrawal was incompetently handled and led to Russia attacking Ukraine. Trump said the Affordable Care Act was lousy healthcare, which he would make better until he replaced it with a better plan. Trump said manufacturing was leaving the United States, and that he would implement tariffs to prevent foreign-made cars from being sold in America.

See below for a summary of Trump's highlights from the first general election debate on June 27, 2024, with a focus on policy. The following paraphrased statements were compiled from debate transcripts. A candidate's opponents are generally not mentioned in his or her summary unless there was a significant exchange between them.

Donald Trump discussed the economy, tariffs, abortion, immigration, foreign policy, policies for Black Americans, the environment, Social Security, his age, and the 2020 election results. Trump said during the pandemic he spent money to prevent a Great Depression and left Biden a stock market higher than before the pandemic. He said Biden caused inflation through excessive spending and only created jobs that would have returned anyway after the coronavirus pandemic. Trump said a 10% tariff would force countries to pay the U.S. a lot of money, reduce the deficit, and give the U.S. power. Trump said cutting taxes and regulations under his administration helped spur the greatest economy in history. He highlighted his administration’s work on coronavirus therapeutics, and criticized Biden administration vaccine mandates. Trump said everyone wanted legal authority on abortion returned to the states, and that he supported exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. Trump said Biden supported late-term abortions and abortions after birth. Trump said he had the safest border in history, and that Biden wanted open borders. Trump said illegal immigrants are committing crimes and he would get a lot of illegal immigrants out of the country. Trump said Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal was the most embarrassing moment in the history of America, and Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if the U.S. had a respected president. He said Europe should be paying more to support Ukraine, and the U.S. shouldn’t be funding Ukraine. Trump said Israel should be allowed to finish the job. In response to his legal cases, Trump said he did nothing wrong and his retribution will be success. Trump said Biden could be a convicted felon for things he did related to Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. Trump said immigrants are taking Black and Hispanic jobs, and that he supported criminal justice reform, opportunity zones, and HBCUs. Trump said he supported clean air and water, and using all forms of energy production. Trump said illegal immigrants were draining resources from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and hospitals. On his age, Trump said he aced cognitive tests and physical exams. Trump said he would accept the results of the 2024 election if there is no fraud, and said the fraud in the 2020 election was ridiculous.

## Policy positions[edit]

The following policy positions were compiled from the candidate's official campaign website, editorials, speeches, and debates.

### Immigration

Trump's campaign website said, "President Trump will shut down Biden’s border disaster. He will again end catch-and-release, restore Remain in Mexico, and eliminate asylum fraud. In cooperative states, President Trump will deputize the National Guard and local law enforcement to assist with rapidly removing illegal alien gang members and criminals. He will also deliver a merit-based immigration system that protects American labor and promotes American values." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Healthcare

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump empowered American patients by greatly expanding healthcare choice, transparency, and affordability. He increased competition in the health insurance market, eliminated the Obamacare individual mandate, and signed Right to Try that gives terminally ill patients access to lifesaving cures. President Trump lowered drug prices for the first time in over 50 years and finalized the Most Favored Nation Rule to ensure that pharmaceutical companies offer the same discounts to the United States as they do to other nations." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Energy and environmental issues

Trump's campaign website said, "Joe Biden reversed the Trump Energy Revolution and is now enriching foreign adversaries abroad. President Trump will unleash the production of domestic energy resources, reduce the soaring price of gasoline, diesel and natural gas, promote energy security for our friends around the world, eliminate the socialist Green New Deal and ensure the United States is never again at the mercy of a foreign supplier of energy." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Trade

Trump's campaign website said, "The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro-American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers, to a system that REWARDS domestic production and taxes FOREIGN companies and those who export American Jobs. They will be rewarded and rewarded greatly. And our country will benefit. To achieve this goal, we will phase in a system of universal, baseline tariffs on most foreign products. On top of this, higher tariffs will increase incrementally depending on how much individual foreign countries devalue their currency." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Economy

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump passed record-setting tax relief for the middle class, doubled the child tax credit, and slashed more job-killing regulations than any administration had ever done before. Real wages quickly increased as a result, and median household income reached the highest level in the history of our country, while poverty reached a record low. President Trump created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones to revitalize neglected communities. President Trump produced a booming economic recovery, and record low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and women. Joe Biden is the destroyer of America’s jobs and continues to fuel runaway inflation with reckless big government spending. President Trump’s vision for America’s economic revival is lower taxes, bigger paychecks, and more jobs for American workers." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Education

Trump's campaign website said, "President Trump believes that we owe our children great schools that lead to great jobs, which will lead to an even greater country than we're living in right now. To that end, President Trump will work to ensure that a top priority of every school is to prepare students for jobs. In connection with totally refocusing schools on succeeding in the world of work, President Trump pledges to close the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. and to send all education work and needs back to the States." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Gun regulation

Trump's campaign website said, "He will also always defend your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Criminal justice

Trump's campaign website said, "There is no higher priority than quickly restoring law and order and public safety in America. President Trump stands with the heroes of law enforcement. Joe Biden and the radical left politicians have defunded, defamed, and dismantled police forces across America. Murders spiked to all-time highs in Democrat-run cities and radical prosecutors and District Attorneys have given free rein to violent criminals who threaten our citizens. The streets of our once-great cities are now controlled by gangs and cartels, and plagued with mentally ill and drug-addicted homeless." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Foreign policy

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump replaced the failed policy of never-ending war, regime change and nation-building with a bold vision to pursue peace through strength. [...] Joe Biden has undermined our military readiness and surrendered our strength to the Taliban. President Trump will defend America against all threats, protect America against all dangers, and keep America out of unnecessary foreign wars. He will also get Biden’s radical left ideology out of our military and rehire every patriot who was unjustly fired. To protect our people from the threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles, President Trump will also build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Abortion

Trump said in a statement, "I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars, both sides, wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended: Roe v. Wade. They wanted it ended. [...] My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case the law of the state. Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative [laws] than others, and that’s what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people." [source, as of 2024-04-08]

### Administrative state

Trump's campaign website listed the following policies, "On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats. Overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus. [...] Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate. Make every Inspector General’s Office independent from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become protectors of the deep state." Trump's campaign website also listed, "Continue Trump administration effort to move parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of the Washington Swamp, just like President Trump moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado. Up to 100,000 government positions could be moved out of Washington. Ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and regulate, such as Big Pharma." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Coronavirus response

Trump's campaign website said, "To save lives from the China virus, President Trump organized the production of the world’s largest supply of ventilators and the development of treatments and vaccines. He will stop all COVID mandates and restore medical freedom." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Election policy

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump is committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our Republic. We will reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters to ensure faith and confidence in all future elections. We will pass a bold range of critical election integrity measures that include banning unsecure drop boxes and ballot harvesting. State and local officials cannot be permitted to make illegal and unconstitutional changes to election procedures without the required approvals by the state legislatures. Very importantly, we must ban private money from pouring into local election offices." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG)

Trump's campaign website said, "The entire ESG scheme is designed to funnel your retirement money to the maniacs on the radical left. The rule we issued under my leadership was the first ESG ban anywhere in the world. And I'm delighted that Republicans in Congress and across the country have been waking up to this threat and following my lead." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Government ethics

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump is committed to dismantling the deep state and restoring government by the People, just as he did during his administration. President Trump will conduct a top-to-bottom overhaul of the federal bureaucracies to clean out the rot and corruption of Washington D.C. President Trump will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress, a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns, a lifetime ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and cabinet members, and a ban on members of Congress trading stocks with insider information." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Sex and gender issues

Trump's campaign website said, "I will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female—and they are assigned at birth. The bill will also make clear that Title Nine prohibits men from participating in women’s sports. And we will protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender, which is new, and an identity without the parents’ consent. The identity will not be new. And it will not be without parental consent." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Infrastructure

Trump's campaign website said, "In other words, we’ll actually build new cities in our country again. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at home ownership and in fact, the American Dream. [...] I will challenge the governors of all 50 states to join me in a great modernization and beautification campaign—getting rid of ugly buildings, refurbishing our parks and our public spaces, making cities and towns more livable, ensuring a pristine environment, and building towering monuments to our true American heroes." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Opioids and drug issues

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump marshalled the full power of government to stop deadly drugs, opioids, and fentanyl from coming into our country. As a result, drug overdose deaths declined nationwide for the first time in nearly 30 years. Joe Biden has allowed drug cartels to wage war on America, steal innocent lives, and ravage our communities. President Trump will take down the drug cartels just as he took down ISIS." [source, as of 2023-12-21]

### Veterans

Trump's campaign website said, "President Donald J. Trump passed the largest reform of the Department of Veterans Affairs in a generation, including VA Accountability and VA Choice, and fired 11,500 federal workers who failed to give our wounded warriors the quality and timely care they so richly deserve. He secured record funding for mental health services, and expanded access to telehealth and suicide prevention resources. To secure the blessings of freedom for those who risked their lives to defend it, President Trump decreased veteran homelessness, increased educational benefits, and achieved record-low veteran unemployment."

## Campaign themes[edit]

### Website[edit]

Trump listed the following policy positions on his campaign website as of October 8, 2024.[37]

“  |

Rebuild the Greatest Economy in History
President Donald J. Trump passed record-setting tax relief for the middle class, doubled the child tax credit, and slashed more job-killing regulations than any administration had ever done before. Real wages quickly increased as a result, and median household income reached the highest level in the history of our country, while poverty reached a record low. President Trump created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones to revitalize neglected communities. President Trump produced a booming economic recovery, and record low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and women. Joe Biden is the destroyer of America’s jobs and continues to fuel runaway inflation with reckless big government spending. President Trump’s vision for America’s economic revival is lower taxes, bigger paychecks, and more jobs for American workers.

Fair Trade for the American Worker
Donald Trump recognized long before he became president that we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. President Trump replaced decades of calamitous multinational trade blunders with fair and reciprocal trade that returned jobs, wealth, and manufacturing to America. He cancelled the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership, replaced the NAFTA nightmare with the groundbreaking USMCA, and renegotiated the one-sided South Korea deal. President Trump confronted unfair trade practices, imposed tariffs on China that brought billions of dollars into the federal treasury, expanded American agriculture, and opened thousands of new factories. President Trump will implement a 4-year national reshoring plan so that the United States no longer needs to rely on China for essential medical and national security goods, and ban Chinese ownership of all critical infrastructure in the United States. We will bring back our supply chains, and build America into the manufacturing superpower of the world.

Unleash Energy Dominance
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the United States became the number one producer of oil and natural gas on earth, achieving American energy independence and delivering historically low costs for oil, gas, diesel, and electricity to consumers and businesses. President Trump unlocked our country’s God-given abundance of oil, natural gas, and clean coal. He approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access, pipelines, opening federal lands and offshore areas for responsible oil and gas production, and ending the unfair and costly Paris Climate Accord. Joe Biden reversed the Trump Energy Revolution and is now enriching foreign adversaries abroad. President Trump will unleash the production of domestic energy resources, reduce the soaring price of gasoline, diesel and natural gas, promote energy security for our friends around the world, eliminate the socialist Green New Deal and ensure the United States is never again at the mercy of a foreign supplier of energy.

Secure Borders and Reclaim National Sovereignty
President Donald J. Trump created the most secure border in U.S. history. He ended catch-and-release, took down human traffickers, deported record numbers of illegal alien gang members, and built 450 miles of powerful new wall. Joe Biden turned our country into one giant sanctuary for dangerous criminal aliens when he suspended all immigration enforcement in the middle of a global pandemic and reversed landmark agreements that safely returned asylum-seekers to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The onslaught of illegal aliens invading our wide-open borders threatens public safety, drains the treasury, undermines U.S. workers, and burdens schools and hospitals. President Trump will shut down Biden’s border disaster. He will again end catch-and-release, restore Remain in Mexico, and eliminate asylum fraud. In cooperative states, President Trump will deputize the National Guard and local law enforcement to assist with rapidly removing illegal alien gang members and criminals. He will also deliver a merit-based immigration system that protects American labor and promotes American values.

War on the Drug Cartels
President Donald J. Trump marshalled the full power of government to stop deadly drugs, opioids, and fentanyl from coming into our country. As a result, drug overdose deaths declined nationwide for the first time in nearly 30 years. Joe Biden has allowed drug cartels to wage war on America, steal innocent lives, and ravage our communities. President Trump will take down the drug cartels just as he took down ISIS. He will impose a total naval embargo on cartels, order the Department of Defense to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership and operations, designate cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and choke off their access to the global financial system. President Trump will get the full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the cartels, or else expose every bribe and kickback that allows these criminal networks to preserve their brutal reign. He will ask Congress to ensure that drug smugglers and traffickers can receive the Death Penalty. When President Trump is back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again.

Stop Crime and Restore Safety
There is no higher priority than quickly restoring law and order and public safety in America. President Trump stands with the heroes of law enforcement. Joe Biden and the radical left politicians have defunded, defamed, and dismantled police forces across America. Murders spiked to all-time highs in Democrat-run cities and radical prosecutors and District Attorneys have given free rein to violent criminals who threaten our citizens. The streets of our once-great cities are now controlled by gangs and cartels, and plagued with mentally ill and drug-addicted homeless. President Trump will revitalize police departments and reclaim safety, dignity, and peace for law-abiding Americans. He will deliver record funding to hire and retrain police officers, strengthen qualified immunity and other protections for police officers, increase penalties for assaults on law enforcement, put violent offenders and career criminals behind bars, and surge federal prosecutors and the National Guard into high-crime communities.

Renew American Strength and Leadership
President Donald J. Trump replaced the failed policy of never-ending war, regime change and nation-building with a bold vision to pursue peace through strength. He fully rebuilt American military might, modernized our nuclear arsenal, and launched the Space Force. He obliterated 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate, killed its founder and leader Abu-Bakar Al Baghdadi, and eliminated the world's number one terrorist, Qasem Soleimani. President Trump kept America out of new wars and brought thousands of brave troops home from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and many other countries. Joe Biden has undermined our military readiness and surrendered our strength to the Taliban. President Trump will defend America against all threats, protect America against all dangers, and keep America out of unnecessary foreign wars. He will also get Biden’s radical left ideology out of our military and rehire every patriot who was unjustly fired. To protect our people from the threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles, President Trump will also build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield.

Reject Globalism and Embrace Patriotism
President Donald J. Trump forged international cooperation among strong, sovereign, and independent nations to create a future of peace, prosperity, and promise for the world. He combatted Radical Islamic terrorism, withdrew from the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal, and suspended travel and refugee resettlement from the world’s most dangerous regions. He recognized Israel's true capital and moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem and acknowledged Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. As a result of his bold diplomacy and principled realism, President Trump brokered four Middle East peace deals, collectively called the Abraham Accords, and our NATO allies agreed to pay $400 billion more in defense spending. Joe Biden’s humiliating defeat in Afghanistan has emboldened rogue regimes, terrorist groups, and rivals like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran that were in retreat. Under President Trump, we will restore our standing in the world and American leadership abroad.

Care For Our Veterans
While Washington politicians poured precious American blood and treasure into misguided military adventures overseas, those who proudly wore our nation’s uniform were dying waiting for medical care at home. President Donald J. Trump passed the largest reform of the Department of Veterans Affairs in a generation, including VA Accountability and VA Choice, and fired 11,500 federal workers who failed to give our wounded warriors the quality and timely care they so richly deserve. He secured record funding for mental health services, and expanded access to telehealth and suicide prevention resources. To secure the blessings of freedom for those who risked their lives to defend it, President Trump decreased veteran homelessness, increased educational benefits, and achieved record-low veteran unemployment. We will fight to serve our veterans with better care and benefits than ever before.

Protect Parents’ Rights
President Donald J. Trump fought tirelessly to expand charter schools and school choice for America’s children. He secured permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and protected free speech on college campuses. Now, Joe Biden and the radical left are using the public school system to push their perverse sexual, racial, and political material on our youth. President Trump will cut federal funding for any school or program pushing Critical Race Theory or gender ideology on our children. His administration will open Civil Rights investigations into any school district that has engaged in race-based discrimination. President Trump will veto the sinister effort to weaponize civics education, keep men out of women’s sports, and create a credentialing body to certify teachers who embrace patriotic values. President Trump will reward states and school districts that abolish teacher tenure for grades K-12 and adopt Merit Pay, cut the number of school administrators, adopt a Parental Bill of Rights, and implement the direct election of school principals by the parents.

Defend Law and Liberty
President Donald J. Trump appointed nearly 300 federal judges to interpret the Constitution as written and preserve the extraordinary vision of our founding fathers. He confirmed three strong Constitutionalists to the United States Supreme Court who will ensure the law is upheld equally, fairly and without political prejudice for all of our citizens. President Trump’s three appointees delivered the biggest win for life in a generation in overturning Roe v. Wade and expanded the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. President Trump will continue to nominate highly qualified prosecutors, judges, and justices who believe in enforcing the law, not their own political agenda. He will also always defend your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and uphold your religious liberty, including the Constitutional right to pray in public schools.

End Censorship and Reclaim Free Speech
President Trump is absolutely committed to dismantling and destroying the left-wing censorship regime. If we don’t have free speech in America, then we will no longer be a free country. President Trump’s plan includes firing any federal bureaucrat who has engaged in censoring the lawful speech of American citizens, banning taxpayer funds from being used to categorize lawful speech for purposes of illicit censorship, banning federal agencies from censoring speech, stopping federal funding for all non-profits and academic programs engaged in censorship, passing a digital bill of rights, and enacting landmark legislation to drastically limit the ability of big social media platforms to restrict free speech. By restoring free speech, we will begin to reclaim our democracy.

Free, Honest and Lawful Elections
President Donald J. Trump is committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our Republic. We will reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters to ensure faith and confidence in all future elections. We will pass a bold range of critical election integrity measures that include banning unsecure drop boxes and ballot harvesting. State and local officials cannot be permitted to make illegal and unconstitutional changes to election procedures without the required approvals by the state legislatures. Very importantly, we must ban private money from pouring into local election offices.

Drain the Swamp of Washington Corruption
President Donald J. Trump is committed to dismantling the deep state and restoring government by the People, just as he did during his administration. President Trump will conduct a top-to-bottom overhaul of the federal bureaucracies to clean out the rot and corruption of Washington D.C. President Trump will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress, a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns, a lifetime ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and cabinet members, and a ban on members of Congress trading stocks with insider information.

Better Health Care Choices at Lower Costs
President Donald J. Trump empowered American patients by greatly expanding healthcare choice, transparency, and affordability. He increased competition in the health insurance market, eliminated the Obamacare individual mandate, and signed Right to Try that gives terminally ill patients access to lifesaving cures. President Trump lowered drug prices for the first time in over 50 years and finalized the Most Favored Nation Rule to ensure that pharmaceutical companies offer the same discounts to the United States as they do to other nations. To save lives from the China virus, President Trump organized the production of the world’s largest supply of ventilators and the development of treatments and vaccines. He will stop all COVID mandates and restore medical freedom, end surprise medical billing, increase fairness through price transparency, and further reduce the cost of prescription drugs and health insurance premiums. President Trump will always protect Medicare, Social Security, and patients with pre-existing conditions.[1]

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### Trump International Golf Club attempted assassination (2024)[edit]

See also: Attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, 2024

On September 15, 2024, while former President Donald Trump (R) was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, the Secret Service identified a man hiding in the shrubbery with an AK-style rifle 300 to 500 yards away. A Secret Service agent fired on the man, who fled and was then apprehended by Florida law enforcement.[506][128]

Nobody was injured. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said it was investigating the incident as an assassination attempt on Trump.[507] The man in custody was identified as Ryan Routh.[128] On September 24, a grand jury in Miami voted to indict Routh on three firearms-related charges, one charge of assaulting a federal officer, and one charge of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.[508] Routh pleaded not guilty.[509] A trial is scheduled for February 10, 2024, with United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon presiding.[510][511]

### Campaign rally shooting and attempted assassination (2024)[edit]

See also: Attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, 2024

Former President Donald Trump (R) held a presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024.[512] At 6:15 p.m., a man fired multiple shots toward the stage where Trump was speaking.[513]

Trump was not seriously injured.[513] On Truth Social, he said he "was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of [his] right ear."[514][515] One rally attendee was killed and two were critically injured as of 10:30 a.m. on July 14.[513]

U.S. Secret Service agents killed the shooter shortly after the shots were fired.[514] The Federal Bureau of Investigation identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks on July 14, 2024.[516]

### U.S. Supreme Court rules that Trump cannot be barred from Illinois' presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment (2024)[edit]

On March 4, 2024, the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Illinois could not remove Donald Trump (R) from its presidential primary ballot. The Court wrote, "responsibility for enforcing Section 3 [of the 14th Amendment] against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States." The opinion said that 14th Amendment enforcement in federal elections was not specifically delegated to the states and that "an evolving electoral map could dramatically change the behavior of voters, parties, and States across the country, in different ways and at different times. The disruption would be all the more acute—and could nullify the votes of millions and change the election result—if Section 3 enforcement were attempted after the Nation has voted. Nothing in the Constitution requires that we endure such chaos—arriving at any time or different times, up to and perhaps beyond the Inauguration."[517]

On February 28, 2024, Illinois Cook Judicial Circuit Court Judge Tracie Porter (D) issued a ruling excluding Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot. Porter said that Trump falsely testified that he was legally qualified for the office because of evidence that he had violated Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. This ruling overruled the Illinois Electoral Board, which had previously ruled on January 30, 2024, that Trump would appear on the state's primary ballot.[518] The ruling was stayed until March 1, 2024, to allow time for appeals.

Trump's campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded to the ruling, saying in a statement, "The Soros-funded Democrat front-groups continue to attempt to interfere in the election and deny President Trump his rightful place on the ballot. Today, an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state's board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal."[519] Trump filed an appeal on February 28.[520]

This ruling followed similar Fourteenth Amendment rulings on Trump's primary ballot placement in Colorado and Maine. The rulings in Colorado and Maine were stayed pending a United States Supreme Court ruling on the issue.

### U.S. Supreme Court rules Trump cannot be barred from Maine's presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment (2023-2024)[edit]

On March 4, 2024, the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Maine could not remove Donald Trump (R) from its presidential primary ballot. The Court wrote, "responsibility for enforcing Section 3 [of the 14th Amendment] against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States." The opinion said that 14th Amendment enforcement in federal elections was not specifically delegated to the states and that "an evolving electoral map could dramatically change the behavior of voters, parties, and States across the country, in different ways and at different times. The disruption would be all the more acute—and could nullify the votes of millions and change the election result—if Section 3 enforcement were attempted after the Nation has voted. Nothing in the Constitution requires that we endure such chaos—arriving at any time or different times, up to and perhaps beyond the Inauguration."[521]

On December 28, 2023, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows ruled that Trump did not qualify for the state's primary ballot. Bellows said that Trump did not qualify for the state's ballot based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which "prohibits people who have taken an oath 'to support' the U.S. Constitution from holding office if they have 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same,' or have 'given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.'"[522] Bellows wrote: "'I am mindful that no secretary of state has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.'"[522] Lawyers for Trump argued that Maine's secretary of state "lacked the authority to exclude him from the ballot."[522] On January 17, 2024, Judge Michaela Murphy of the Kennebec County Superior Court ruled that Bellows' decision should remain on hold until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling on whether Trump could be removed from the Colorado presidential ballot.[523]

Bellows' decision followed the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling that Trump was ineligible to appear on that state's primary ballot on December 19, 2023.[524] The Colorado Supreme Court was the first court in the country to determine that the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause applied to Trump. After Maine's ruling, Illinois also issued a ruling barring Trump from the state's ballot under the 14th Amendment.

### U.S. Supreme Court rules Trump cannot be barred from Colorado's presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment (2023-2024)[edit]

On March 4, 2024, the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Colorado could not remove Donald Trump (R) from its presidential primary ballot. The Court wrote, "responsibility for enforcing Section 3 [of the 14th Amendment] against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States." The opinion said that 14th Amendment enforcement in federal elections was not specifically delegated to the states and that "an evolving electoral map could dramatically change the behavior of voters, parties, and States across the country, in different ways and at different times. The disruption would be all the more acute—and could nullify the votes of millions and change the election result—if Section 3 enforcement were attempted after the Nation has voted. Nothing in the Constitution requires that we endure such chaos—arriving at any time or different times, up to and perhaps beyond the Inauguration."[525]

The Supreme Court overruled a December 19, 2023, ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court that excluded Trump from the state's primary ballot. The 4-3 ruling reversed a Denver district court's ruling that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which "disqualifies people who have engaged in insurrection against the Constitution after having taken an oath to support it from holding office," did not apply to the presidency.[522] The state supreme court said, "A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot."[526] On January 5, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision barring Trump from the state’s primary ballot. Oral arguments in the case took place on February 8, 2024.[527]

The Colorado Supreme Court was the first court in the country to determine that the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause applied to Trump. The decision was stayed until January 4, 2024, to allow for appeals. Trump's campaign said they would appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.[522] Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, "Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice. We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits."[522]

Maine and Illinois also issued rulings attempting to remove Trump from the ballot before the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion on the matter.

### Criminal indictment by Georgia grand jury (2023)[edit]

See also: Georgia prosecution of Donald Trump, 2023-2024

Former President Donald Trump (R) was indicted on 13 criminal charges related to interference in the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Trump pleaded not guilty on August 31.[528] Judge Scott McAfee struck three of these charges for lack of specificity on March 13, 2024, and struck an additional two charges based on the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause on September 12, 2024.[249][529]

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) filed the indictment in Fulton Superior Court in Georgia, and the case is being heard by Judge Scott McAfee.[530]

The indictment was unsealed on August 14, 2023, the same day it was announced that the grand jury had voted to issue an indictment.[531] It included the following charges against Trump:[531]

* violation of Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act;
* conspiracy to impersonate a public officer, to commit first degree forgery, to commit false statements and writings, and to file false documents;
* filing false documents; and
* issuing false statements and writings.

The indictment included a total of 41 criminal counts related to interference in Georgia's 2020 presidential election results against 19 defendants, including Trump, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer, and Georgia State Senator Shawn Still (R), among others.[531] McAfee struck six of these counts in March 2024 due to lack of specificity.[249] To view a full list of defendants and the charges issued against each, click here.

Trump's campaign issued a statement shortly before the indictment was released, saying, "GA's radical Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis is a rabid partisan who is campaigning and fundraising on a platform of prosecuting President Trump through these bogus indictments. [...] They are taking away President Trump's First Amendment right to free speech, and the right to challenge a rigged and stolen election that the Democrats do all the time."[532]

In a press conference after the indictment was released, Willis said, "I remind everyone here that an indictment is only a series of allegations based on a grand jury's determination of probable cause to support the charges. It is now the duty of my office to prove these charges in the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt at trial."[533]

The indictment followed a special grand jury investigation into whether Trump and his allies attempted to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The grand jury convened in May 2022, and completed its investigation in January 2023.[534]

### Criminal indictment by Washington, D.C., grand jury (2023)[edit]

See also: Federal prosecution of Donald Trump, 2023-2024 (2020 election certification case)

A federal grand jury charged former President Donald Trump (R) with four criminal counts related to the certification of the 2020 presidential election in August 2023. Trump pleaded not guilty.[535] Judge Tanya S. Chutkan oversaw the proceedings.[536]

Special counsel Jack Smith moved to dismiss the case without prejudice on November 25, 2024. The U.S. Constitution prohibits the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, and Donald Trump (R) won the 2024 presidential election on November 5. In his filing, Smith wrote "That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind."[537]

In July 2024, the Supreme Court ruled on Trump's claim of presidential immunity in the case, saying in a 6-3 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts that presidents have absolute immunity for core constitutional powers and no immunity for unofficial actions. The case was remanded to a lower court to determine which charges in the indictment could proceed.[538] Smith released a superseding indictment on August 27, 2024, which maintained the same charges against Trump with an adjusted presentation to adhere to the Supreme Court's ruling.[539]

The original indictment was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. It included the following charges alleged against Trump:

* conspiracy to defraud the United States "by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election;"
* conspiracy to obstruct the certification of the electoral vote on January 6, 2021;
* obstruction of the certification of the electoral vote on January 6, 2021; and
* conspiracy "to injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate one or more persons in the free exercise and enjoyment of" the right to vote and have one's vote counted.[540]

In November 2022, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith to investigate whether any individual or entity "unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021."[541] Before this appointment, Smith served as a chief prosecutor for the special court in The Hague, Netherlands, where he investigated war crimes in Kosovo.[542]

### Criminal indictment by Florida grand jury (2023)[edit]

See also: Noteworthy criminal misconduct in American politics (2023-2024) and Federal prosecution of Donald Trump, 2023-2024 (classified documents case)

A federal grand jury charged Former President Donald Trump (R) with 40 criminal counts related to his handling of classified documents in June and July 2023. Trump pleaded not guilty. This was the first federal indictment of a former U.S. president.[543][544]

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case on July 15, 2024, on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith's appointment violated the Appointments Clause and the Appropriations Clause of the U.S. Constitution.[545] Smith filed an appeal, but later withdrew the appeal after Trump won the 2024 presidential election.[546][547]

The court unsealed the original indictment on June 9, 2023, which contained 37 criminal counts. A superseding indictment was released on July 27, 2023, and added three additional charges, resulting in a total of forty criminal counts. Thirty-two counts were on the willful retention of national defense information. The other counts included:[548][544]

* conspiracy to obstruct justice;
* withholding a document or record;
* corruptly concealing a document or record;
* concealing a document in a federal investigation;
* scheme to conceal;
* false statements and representations;
* attempting to alter, destroy, or conceal evidence; and
* compelling another individual to alter, destroy, or conceal evidence.

### Criminal conviction by New York grand jury (2023-2024)[edit]

On May 30, 2024, a Manhattan jury found former President Donald Trump (R) guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, making Trump the first U.S. president to ever be indicted on and convicted of felony crimes after his time in office.[549] Trump's sentencing took place on January 10, 2025. Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump would have the conviction on his record, but the sentence carried no jail time, fines, or probation.[550][551][552][553][554]

Trump responded to the sentence, saying, "The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt."[555] Trump said he would appeal the ruling. Trump's legal team can file a notice of appeal within 30 days of his sentencing date, and the appeal would be heard by a New York Appellate Division court.[556]

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) announced the grand jury criminal indictment of Trump on March 30, 2023, .[557] The indictment was unsealed on April 4, showing that the grand jury had voted to charge Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.[558] The trial began on April 15, 2024.[559][560][561][562] Judge Juan Merchan presided over the grand jury and the case.[563][564][565]
