2024 Live US Election Results: President, Senate, Congress and Governors

We’re tracking all national-level races in the 2024 general election. Check back for updates on presidential, senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial races as polls close and ballots are counted.

Presidential race

Much of the presidential campaign between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris has focused on seven contested states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Together, the swing states have 93 electoral votes. California has 54. In most states, the winner of the popular vote receives all of the state’s electoral votes. In 2000 and 2016, Democrats won the popular vote, but the candidate fell short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

It could take days to know who will be the next president of the United States because of narrow margins and voters’ preference for mail-in ballots. Running on this side is called by Associated Press.
