The United States presidential election, 2016 is scheduled for Tuesday, 8 November 2016.[1][2]
The Republican National Convention took place from 18 to 21 July 2016, in Cleveland, Ohio, while the Democratic National Convention took place from 25 to 28 July 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Businessman and reality television personality Donald Trump became the Republican Party's presidential nominee on 19 July 2016, after defeating Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Ohio Governor John Kasich, Florida Senator Marco Rubio and several other candidates in the Republican primary elections.[3]
On 14 July 2016, several major media outlets reported that Trump had selected Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate. Trump confirmed these reports and made the announcement two days later in New York.[4][5][6][7][8] On July 19, the second night of the Republican National Convention, Pence won the Republican vice presidential nomination by acclamation.[9]
Former Secretary of State and New York Senator Hillary Clinton became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee on 26 July 2016 after defeating Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. On July 22, three days before the start of the Democratic National Convention, the Clinton campaign announced that Virginia Senator Tim Kaine had been selected as her running mate.
Two other candidates will contest the election: the Libertarian Party nominee, former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson; and the Green Party presumptive nominee Jill Stein.[10][11]

| The Twitter Files | “After the 2016 upsets of Brexit and the election of Trump, however, the establishment soured on free speech. Both events were seen as undermining NATO, and both were blamed on foreign influence on social media—specifically Russia. The U.S. and UK governments in particular saw the need to identify and purge Russian influence operations online and set up a government–private apparatus to do so.” | Peter Svab The Epoch Times | 17 January 2023 |
