Narrative

The latest completed contest in the atlas

Donald Trump won a decisive comeback victory, becoming the first president since Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms. Biden had dropped out of the race in July 2024 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the first woman of color nominated by a major party for president. Trump swept all seven key battleground states and also won the popular vote — the first Republican to do so since 2004. Harris called Trump to concede the next day and delivered her concession speech that afternoon at Howard University.

Key issue

Inflation and cost of living; immigration; democracy concerns; Biden's age and competence

Notable

Trump became second president to win non-consecutive terms (like Cleveland); first Republican to win popular vote since 2004

For the third time since adopting this system, Maine's four electoral votes were split between the two major party tickets.

Nebraska distributes its electoral votes proportionally, with two at-large electors representing the statewide winning presidential and vice presidential candidates and one elector each representing the winners from its three Congressional districts. For the third time since adopting this system, Nebraska's five electoral votes were split between the two major party tickets.

Shares are of each state’s total vote for president. “Not named”: the figures do not give that candidate a line of their own in that state — for example under 1% of the vote, not on the ballot there, or counted on an unnamed line (see the state’s note). Margin is the leader’s lead over the second-placed candidate.
