US election could see rare 269-269 tie between Trump and Harris
The U.S. presidential election is approaching, with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in a tight race. A rare scenario of a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College is possible, which would require Congress to resolve the outcome. In the event of a tie, the Senate would elect the Vice President, while the House of Representatives would choose the President. This process is outlined in the U.S. Constitution and involves voting from the top candidates based on electoral votes. Electoral votes will be cast on December 17, and counted on January 6, 2025. The results of the congressional elections will impact the presidential election outcome if a tie occurs. Inauguration is set for January 20, 2025.
