In this chapter, I argue that the figure of the necro-president reaches its full articulation during the 2024 election cycle, where political spectacle, institutional decay, and symbolic death converge into a new logic of rule. I track how Biden’s presidency became a site of projected mortality, and how Trump’s campaign transformed death into a political resource, used not only to delegitimize opposition but to cast himself as a messianic figure capable of resurrecting the republic. I weave insights from Arendt, Han, Lefort, Benjamin, Derrida, and Anderson to frame death as a material force shaping contemporary governance. I argue that death becomes the mechanism through which authority is asserted, institutions are hollowed out, and legitimacy is claimed. The necro-president is not just a figure of decline. He is a structure of rule built through decay.
