Trump wins 2024 election with significant electoral victory and calls for unity
Former President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, surpassing 270 electoral votes. He declared victory immediately after projections, urging national unity. Kamala Harris conceded the following day, with Trump winning by nearly five million votes. Voter turnout in 2024 was lower than in 2020, with over 78 million ballots cast early compared to more than 110 million in the previous election. The COVID-19 pandemic had driven higher early voting in 2020. Trump completed a sweep of swing states, winning Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In 2020, Biden had won many of these states, including Arizona and Georgia.
