Donald Trump lost his 2020 reelection bid and is running again as the Republican nominee in 2024.
Trump's running mate in 2020 was his vice president, Mike Pence. In 2024, it's JD Vance.

Donald Trump lost his presidential reelection campaign in 2020, but he and his family have remained powerful political figures.

Trump is the Republican nominee once again in the 2024 presidential election, but a few things are different this time around. In May, he was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush-money trial involving a $130,000 payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. Trump also survived an assassination attempt in July and chose a new running mate.

Some Trump family members have remained active in his campaign, while others have chosen to step back from politics.

Here's a look at how Trump and his family members have changed since the last election.

In 2020, Donald Trump lost his reelection campaign to Joe Biden and refused to accept the results.
