The candidate with the highest percentage of votes overall wins. Instead of running primaries to where the "The Biggest Loser" gets the Left and Right nod and we're stuck choosing between two pieces of garbage. It was rigged from its inception. Why is there only 2 choices for the most important job on the planet? LOL. Companies have 200 choices to choose from for a pointless position cleaning toilets.
I'm not a fan a plurality decisions for such an important job If you literally had 200 candidates and the person that had the highest percentage of votes won it could mean someone who received 2% of the vote would be elected. Many European countries address this by requiring that the party winning the plurality form coalitions with other parties to get up to 50% or more. You can also have run-offs, but if you start with too many candidates you'd probably need more than one round of runoffs. I likerauked choice voting but that doesn't seem terribly popular. At any rate, I don't think a strictly plurality election would provide a sufficient mandate, and so far nobody has developed a perfect way to address the next step when no one candidate wins an outright majority.
