President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump cruised to victory in their
respective parties’ primaries. Mr. Trump dispatched with a large group of
Republican challengers, most of whom ended their campaigns before a single vote
was cast, and Mr. Biden faced only nominal opposition.

But a little over three weeks after a disastrous debate performance, Mr. Biden
ended his campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris sought the nomination in the
president’s place, and the Democratic Party immediately consolidated around her.
In early August, delegates officially chose her as the party’s nominee.

Both major-party candidates have selected their running mates, essentially
finalizing the field. Mr. Trump announced in July his choice of Senator JD Vance
of Ohio, and Ms. Harris announced in August that she had chosen Gov. Tim Walz of
Minnesota.
