Results of the 2024 US Election, Live: As the predictions began to come in, Republican candidate Donald Trump had already won over 30 states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, and more, while Democrat Kamala Harris had only won 20 states. In the remaining counties, the ballots are now being counted. With three swing states—including Pennsylvania—and a lead in other states, Trump now has 267 electoral votes, making him look quite close to winning the president. Trump will become the 47th President of the United States if he wins one more state.

Ballots have started counting in several places, and voting is now closed. In most states, early in-person and mail-in ballots are anticipated to be counted first. More than 82 million citizens in the nation used early voting to cast their ballots.

• A contender must receive 270 of the 538 electoral votes, or electors, available nationwide in order to win. Trump was only able to secure 232 electoral votes in the 2020 election, whereas President Joe Biden secured 306 electoral votes.
• In addition, the outcome of the US presidential election will determine which party controls both the Senate and the House of Representatives, in addition to choosing the country’s next president.
• According to pollsters, the outcome of the fiercely contested campaign between Trump and Harris will probably depend on crucial swing states like Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, and others, where a few thousand votes might make all the difference. This also implies that it can take a while to predict a winner.
