All the tech news from the 2024 election

Technology was a mere footnote in previous election cycles, but the 2024 US elections are happening in the wake of the very contentious TikTok ban bill. At the same time, this electoral cycle may be the most divorced from substantive policy than any other cycle in living memory. Still, the federal government is in a regulatory mood, and the question of which political party controls the White House after January 2025 will determine tech policy issues ranging from net neutrality to the rapidly expanding scope of tech antitrust.
In the meantime, the specter of misinformation &mdash;&nbsp;particularly AI-generated misinformation &mdash;&nbsp;looms over an election that is particularly vulnerable to rhetorical attacks on the legitimacy of the democratic process.
Now, Joe Biden has announced he&rsquo;s out of the presidential race, and has endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement.
Here&rsquo;s all our 2024 election coverage in one place.

The question of who becomes president will impact policies ranging from net neutrality to tech antitrust.
