Trump wins 2024 presidential election as states finalize vote counts
The 2024 presidential election has concluded, with Donald Trump winning enough electoral votes to claim the presidency. However, some states are still counting ballots, particularly those that rely on mail-in voting, like Arizona and California. Voter turnout appears strong, though not as high as the record set in 2020. Some states, like Michigan, have reported record participation. Trump is set to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, as he begins assembling his new administration. Republicans regained control of the Senate, but the final margin is still unclear due to ongoing counts. The House of Representatives remains under Republican control, but results from several races are pending. There are no indications of a presidential recount, but some Senate and House races may require one.
