US Elections 2024

Donald Trump will compete against Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election following a campaign. Joe Biden stepped back from the race after facing significant pressure due to his poor performance in the initial debate against Trump. When will the US election take place? The US election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The victor will hold the presidency for a four-year term beginning with their inauguration on January 20, 2025. In addition to selecting a president, voters will also be choosing Congressional candidates for positions in the House of Representatives and the US Senate. What are the main battleground states? The path to the presidency typically passes through several crucial battleground states, which have a disproportionate impact on election day. These states are often closely divided and alternate between Democratic and Republican victories by slim margins. Pennsylvania, with its 19 electoral college votes, has consistently been a pivotal state in recent presidential elections, and this trend will continue in 2024. Trump will also need to win over Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Nevada, all of which Biden narrowly secured in 2020 to obtain the presidency. Florida and Ohio, once viewed as swing states, have won solidly for Republicans in recent elections; however, nothing is guaranteed. What occurs on election day? Most voters will head to the polls, where votes will be tallied. A significant number of individuals may have already voted in advance through mail-in ballots or early voting options.
