Donald Trump, the 45th (2017âÂÂ2021) and 47th (2025âÂÂpresent) president of the United States, first ran for president in the 2000 election as a candidate for the Reform Party of the United States. He withdrew from the race before the primaries. Trump won the 2016 election running as the Republican Party nominee, despite losing the popular vote. Trump ran for re-election in 2020, but lost to former vice president Joe Biden. He subsequently won the 2024 election against vice president Kamala Harris to serve a non-consecutive second term as president, again as a Republican candidate.
During the campaign, Trump qualified for the Michigan and California Reform Party presidential primaries. Both of these elections were held after Trump exited the race. On February 22, Trump won the Michigan Primary with 2,164 votes defeating uncommitted with 948 votes. Trump won the California primary on March 7 with 15,311 votes. Eventual Reform nominee Pat Buchanan was not listed on either ballot. A slate of Trump supporters petitioned to list Trump on the New York Independence Party presidential primary ballot but were denied on a technicality.
