The US presidential election of 2020 was the 59th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on November 3rd, 2020. Democratic Nominee and Incumbent Hillary Clinton and her running mate Julian Castro, were elected to a second term winning the popular vote and the electoral vote. However she won with a very decreased margin from 2016, no longer winning the election in a landslide. Another notable candidate was Kanye West who ran as independent. Democrats feared that he would spoil Clinton's candidacy but performed underwhelming for the media attention he was getting.
