PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
This election will see the selection of the 47th president, who will succeed Joe Biden, the first President since LBJ in 1968, to decline a re-election bid. It would also be a historic win for either candidate if the nation sees a Trump/Vance victory tonight, he will become the first President since Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) in 1892 to win two non-consecutive terms as President and would be the oldest President to be sworn into office at age 78. Vance would also make history as the nation would see the election of the third youngest Vice-Presidential candidate, grabbing the spot currently held by former VP Dan Quayle (1989-1993) and would be the first VP elected from the state of Ohio

However, if the nation sees a Harris/Walz victory, it would see the election of the first female President in US History as well as the election of the first Democrat President from the state of California, the first VP from Minnesota since Walter Mondale in 1976, and would be the first incumbent VP since George H. W. Bush [1924-2018] in 1988 to win the White House.
