The U.S. presidential election uses a total of 538 electoral votes, with a candidate needing 270 to win. In 2020, Joe Biden secured 306 electoral votes, defeating Donald Trump, who earned 232. The election outcome also determines control of Congress—the Senate and House of Representatives. Polls suggest a tight race between Trump and Kamala Harris, with swing states like Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wisconsin potentially deciding the winner, meaning the results may take time to finalise.
The 2024 U.S. presidential election has been marked by intense drama and unpredictability. Key events include Trump’s courtroom conviction, an injury from a bullet grazing his ear, a pivotal debate that dampened Joe Biden's chances of re-election, and Kamala Harris's last-minute nomination. Harris, aiming to become the first female president, focuses on bipartisan cooperation to address economic issues while staying aligned with Biden's policies. In contrast, Trump promises to replace federal workers with loyalists, impose tariffs on both allies and adversaries, and carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
The New York Times predicts that Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, is projected to win 277 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris is expected to secure 261 votes. However, the race remains a "tossup," with both candidates still competing for key battleground states. The final outcome will depend on the remaining votes, as both candidates strive to secure the last electoral votes needed to win.

Latest Update on Election Final Results Date & Time:
There are 51 separate elections with 6 different time zones in each US state. Each state has its own rules and practices for counting the votes. Officially, November 5th has been set as the Election Day, but the actual final picture may take hours or days to emerge due to the neck-and-neck contest between Democrat Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump.
To complicate matters more, unlike in India, there is no election commission to tabulate the results. It is the responsibility of the state and local governments to count the votes. Therefore, all the citizens of US and the world have to rely on the American media to provide the election results within hours of the end of voting.
"According to the BBC, the last polls will close at 01.00 EST, which, as per Indian time, will be 11.30 am on Wednesday. Thus, by Wednesday night, a clear picture of the trends may start to emerge about who is ahead in the race to occupy the White House."
