The following is a list of events of the year 2024 in the United States, as well as predicted and scheduled events that have not yet occurred.
With the dominant political story of this year being the 2024 presidential election, much attention has focused on Democratic incumbent Joe Biden's upcoming rematch against Republican Donald Trump, who Biden unseated four years earlier. American politics have also focused on responses to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas which started in the year prior, particularly the protests on college campuses against Israel, recent developments in abortion policy, and Trump's civil and criminal trials. Other major stories include the passing of a law that could ban TikTok.
The Federal Trade Commission under chair Lina Khan has also played a more proactive role in the economics of America, with Khan blocking many mergers and acquisitions, including one between airlines JetBlue and Spirit.[1] In business, the American economy is currently undergoing a bull market, with Nvidia in particular, due to demand for its chips in the use of artificial intelligence, becoming the third largest publicly-traded company by market capitalization, and partially enabling major American stock indices such as the S&P 500 to achieve record highs.[2] Nvidia's success story, though was contrasted by a series of safety failures, malfunctions, and crashes involving passenger aircraft designed and assembled by Boeing, among the most notable this year including Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 where a door plug blew out.[3][4] Additionally, radio operator Audacy, for-profit hospital chain Steward Health Care System, retailers Jo-Ann Stores and rue21, seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster, bussing company Coach USA, and electric vehicle maker Fisker Inc. have filed bankruptcy.

In the Senate, at least seven seats, those of Senators Tom Carper from Delaware, Mike Braun from Indiana, Ben Cardin from Maryland, Debbie Stabenow from Michigan, Bob Menendez from New Jersey, Mitt Romney from Utah, and Joe Manchin from West Virginia, will be open contests; the seat of the late Dianne Feinstein is also expected to be an open contest with Feinstein's immediate successor, Laphonza Butler, expected not to seek a full term.[7][8][9]
Concerning state governments, 11 states and two territories will hold gubernatorial elections, and most states and territories will hold elections for their legislatures.
