The 2024 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The Republican nominee, Donald Trump, defeated the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Trump received 270 electoral votes to Harris's 268. He also won the popular vote, receiving 73,562,996 votes to Harris's 69,243,108.
The election was closely contested, with both candidates receiving a majority of the vote in several key swing states.
Trump's victory was a surprise to many, as Harris had been leading in the polls for most of the campaign.
However, Trump was able to win over a number of voters with his promises to bring back jobs to the United States and to reduce illegal immigration.
Harris's loss was a disappointment to many Democrats, who had hoped to elect the first female president of the United States.
The election results have been met with mixed reactions. Some people are happy with the outcome, while others are disappointed.
It is too early to say what the long-term impact of the election will be. However, it is clear that the results will have a significant impact on the United States for years to come.
