Donald Trump is contesting 2025 elections.

Is this a correct sentence?
 
Donald Trump is contesting the 2025 2024 elections [presidential] election.

Is this a correct sentence correct?
See above. If the sentence was written before the election took place but after campaigning started, "is contesting" is correct.
Yet again, you omitted an article. You still need to work on this.
The election was in 2024. He was inaugurated (sworn in) in 2025 but it's still the 2024 election.
I added "presidential" because there might have been other elections (mayors, sheriffs etc) in the same year.
You're referring to the one and only 2024 presidential election so you need the singular noun.

If you wrote it yourself, why, and in what context?

I wanted to know what was the correct way of saying that if we were talking about the elections.
 
The question has "elections" in it. (And the wrong year.) What does 'this context" mean? (Unfortunately, it means nothing at all. 🫤)
