Here is a background on the ongoing 2024 US election Results LIVE:
- Nationally, there are a total of 538 electoral votes, or electors, meaning a candidate needs to secure 270 to win. In the 2020 elections , President Joe Biden won 306 electoral votes to defeat Trump, who could only manage to garner 232 electoral votes.
- Besides that, the results of the US presidential elections will decide not only the next president but also which party controls the two chambers of Congress—the Senate and the House of Representatives.
- Pollsters predict a closely contested race between Trump and Harris, with the outcome likely hinging on key swing states like Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wisconsin and others, where just a few thousand votes could tip the scales. This also means it could take some time before a winner could be projected.
