2024 Presidential Election Results

Heading into Election Day on Nov. 5, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump were locked in a tight race for the White House. Candidates need 270 electoral votes to win the presidential contest, with the most fierce battles taking place in the seven swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. 

Election results could take days until they are called, experts have warned. Media organizations will likely call the results based on data from election analysts and researchers before official results are announced by states and local governments. Some states, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, can’t begin processing absentee and mail-in ballots until Election Day. Results for the 2020 election won by President Joe Biden took four days, while it took 35 days to announce George W. Bush had won the White House in 2000.
