Donald Trump's tenure as the 47th president of the United States will begin on January 20, 2025, with his second inauguration. Trump, a Republican from New York City, previously served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. When he takes his oath of office as president, he will become the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms, following president Grover Cleveland, who began a second term in 1893, the oldest person to be sworn in as president of the United States, as well as the first convicted felon to be president.
Trump was elected president on November 5, 2024, alongside his running mate JD Vance, after defeating the Democratic candidate, incumbent vice president Kamala Harris. Upon Vance's oath of office as the 50th vice president, he will become the first Millennial vice president of the United States.
2024 election
Donald Trump officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2024 United States presidential election on November 15, 2022, at his Mar-a-Lago residence in a roughly hour-long speech, seeking the nomination of the Republican Party. In March 2024, Trump became the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party following the party's presidential primaries. Trump picked Ohio senator JD Vance, a former critic of his, as his running mate, and the two were formally nominated as the Republican ticket at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Incumbent president Joe Biden initially ran for re-election for the Democratic nomination, becoming the party's presumptive nominee in March 2024 after comfortably winning the primaries with little opposition. However, following a widely panned debate performance and amid increasing concerns about his age and health, Biden officially withdrew from the race in July 2024. Biden endorsed Kamala Harris, his 2020 running mate and vice president of the United States, as his successor, who announced her campaign on July 21. The following day, Harris received enough non-binding delegates to become the party's new presumptive nominee; at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in August 2024, she formally accepted the party's nomination.
On November 6, 2024, Trump flipped Wisconsin from the Democrats, receiving enough electoral votes to secure the presidency. The electoral votes will be certified on January 6, 2025.
Transition period and inauguration
The presidential transition period began following Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Trump will be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, succeeding Biden as the 47th president of the United States.
