Trump outperforms expectations in 2024 election with key wins in Florida
Donald Trump significantly outperformed expectations in the 2024 election, winning key areas like Miami-Dade County, a Democratic stronghold since 1988. He also exceeded his 2020 results across Florida, with projections showing a victory margin of over 13 points. As results came in, it became clear that Kamala Harris was struggling, particularly in major metro areas where Black voter turnout was lower than anticipated. Early signs indicated a challenging night for the Harris campaign, with losses in states like Virginia and North Carolina. By early Wednesday morning, many networks projected Trump’s victory, marking him as the first Republican to win the national popular vote since 2004. His success included strong support from Hispanic and Black voters, signaling a shift in the political landscape.
