Overview of the 2024 Election Results
The 2024 election results showcase a decisive victory for President Trump, who secured 312 electoral votes against Vice President Harris's 226. Key swing states such as Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona, which were previously won by Biden, flipped in favor of Trump this cycle. The Republican Party not only regained control of the Senate, gaining four seats, but also increased its presence in the House, projecting a retention of the majority with 214 seats called for Republicans compared to 203 for Democrats. The narrative established by these outcomes signals extensive shifts in American political dynamics, prompting discussions about broader societal implications.
