November 6th 2024.
In 2020, the presidential race was a close one, with both candidates vying for the top spot. As the nation prepared to cast their votes on November 5, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were in the final stretch of their campaigns. People across America flocked to their polling stations, adding to the already record-breaking 84 million ballots cast early on.
As the first polls began to close in states like Kentucky and Indiana, the rest of the country eagerly awaited the results. It's not uncommon for a clear winner to be announced within hours after the polls close, but sometimes it can take days or even weeks for the official tally to be released. Each state has its own process for counting votes, so it's important to be patient.
In the 2020 election, it took four days for Joe Biden to declare victory after winning the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania. This year, we can expect a similar scenario as the votes continue to roll in tonight and into tomorrow morning. There may be some surprises in store as some states may lean differently than what pollsters predicted.
Now, let's take a look at the results from the 2020 election and compare them to this year's voter turnout. In 2020, Trump didn't receive enough Electoral College votes to secure the White House, with only 232 votes in his favor. However, he did manage to capture 46.9% of the popular vote, totaling at 74,224,319 votes.
On the other hand, Biden won both the popular vote and enough Electoral College votes to secure his position as the President. He received 306 Electoral College votes and 51.3% of the popular vote, which amounted to 81,284,666 votes. It was a close race, but ultimately, Biden came out on top.
In terms of states won, Trump secured victories in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, ME-2, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, NE-1, NE-3, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Biden, on the other hand, won Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, ME-1, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, NE-2, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
As we look towards the 2024 election, it's important to note that it's still early in the night and some states have already been called. For the latest updates, be sure to follow our live maps.
