}}The '''Fall 2024 United States presidential election''' is an upcoming presidential election in [[NUSA]], being held from November 8, 2024 to November 10, 2024. Incumbent [[President of the United States]] [[teasoups]] is seeking a second, consecutive term to office, previously becoming the narrow victor in the [[2024 Summer Election]]. U.S. Senator [[ApolloKorman]], who had initially sought the presidency in the [[2024 Spring Election]], emerged as the frontrunner against the president, who has lean or likely led every poll throughout election season.

In a stunning upset victory in the [[Forward Party]] primaries, citizen [[TradeNato]] defeated [[ApolloKorman]] by just three votes. Korman did not stop there and will continue to run in the election as independent, and remains the strongest candidate on the stage. However, Nato could potentially serve as a ''spoiler vote'' to uninformed Forward Party candidates who vote along party lines.

== Background ==

== Campaign issues ==

=== Separation of powers ===
Multiple judges have come out to denounce the overstepping of the [[teasoups]] administration into judicial affairs, with Associate Justice [[AConArtist]] expressing feelings of disdain regarding accusations of political witchhunts being executed upon him by the administration<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/1124802674307637441/1297922091068166144</ref>. Additionally, former District Judge [[Montagutheking]] mentioned concerns regarding the administration's threats to "use political influence to affect the outcome of judicial proceedings" as "deeply concerning".<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/1124802674307637441/1295856480146296953</ref>.

Former legal officers and citizens have expressed discomfort at the idea that [[teasoups]] may be "using her supermajority to oust justices"<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1275642168505139292</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1273987946810183742</ref>. The administration pursued the removal of many long-term sitting justices, and successfully managed to, what some would say, ''coerce'' sitting justices [[stickza]] and [[turntable5000]] to step down from the Supreme Court after years of service and even attempted to push long-term sitting Chief Justice [[Tony Giordano]] out of the Court citing "ties with another Roblox USA."<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/12BnQ-kre_SxI_ENUCFg65OxQ5ufN_usg/view</ref>. Even Justice [[Frosty TheSn0wman]], who was nominated by [[GeorgeGodsent]] in May, was nearly ousted by administration loyalists.

=== Department of Justice ===
The Department of Justice has become a headlining campaign issue after activity within the department plummeted throughout President teasoups' first term. Public defenders and defense attorney counts reached an all time low, with the count of public defenders even hitting zero at one point, and the issue could be blamed on [[NELA]], a tribunal established by the administration to handle employment-related matters, effectively stripping the rights of the District Court to be able to handle employment-related lawsuits<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/501212929996095488/1273971398850773064</ref>. NELA has been criticized by many former legal experts and lawmakers alike as "garbage" and a "mockery."<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1294914595974156340</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1294490502036455434</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1274796989468508263</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1270129532267139276</ref>

=== Activity ===
Compared to the activity and server population rates during the [[GeorgeGodsent]] administration, activity in Washington, D.C. had reached shocking new lows during the teasoups administration. Members of the Forward Party have repeatedly called out teasoups for her failure to maintain stable activity levels throughout a full week in NUSA comparably to that of former President Godsent.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/188563418570031104/1298297415618658345</ref> Additionally, the Ridgeway War, which had been initiated by President GeorgeGodsent in the final days of his presidency to improve the activity of the [[United States Military]], was ended by teasoups on her first day in office, bringing back the USM to having nothing to do.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/188563418570031104/501212929996095488/1265128023368138794</ref>

=== Military ===
Military has become an increasingly critical campaign issue after President [[teasoups]] deployed military troops to the Middle East for the sake of "activity" in NUSA's newest United Nations. Some voters think it is staunchly important that U.S. deployment remains for military activity after serious inactivity levels throughout the [[GeorgeGodsent]] presidency, while others believe that unnecessary military deployment should be cancelled.

== Forward Party ==
The Forward Party presidential primary caucus came after the merger with the [[Plutocratic Party]] in order to expand and kill inactivity within the Forwards. Due to the Forward Party not currently holding the presidency or Congress, Forwards typically opposed modern-day Soups policies, including the establishment of [[NELA]], the new [[Constitution of the United States]], and her methods of judicial reform.

[[ApolloKorman]], a U.S. senator, emerged as the top contender for the primary and the only one favored to defeat teasoups on Election Day. Korman was predicted to have swept the Forward Party primary caucus, but was defeated in a shocking [[upset victory]], losing by just a mere 3 votes to citizen [[TradeNato]]. Korman conceded defeat in the primary, but will continue to run for President as an Independent. He remains with a fair chance to defeat Teasoups, but the margin is tightening closer to election day due to Nato's "spoiler candidacy" garnering support from dedicated Forwards.
