Trump wins 2024 election with notable but smaller margins in key states

pbs.org

Donald Trump won the 2024 election, securing both the Electoral College and the popular vote. He became only the second Republican to win the popular vote since 1988. However, his victory margins were smaller than in many past elections. Trump's success in seven battleground states was notable, with a collective margin of about 760,000 votes. This was significantly larger than the narrow margins seen in previous close elections, such as the 2000 Bush-Gore race. Despite Trump's win, down-ballot Republicans did not see significant gains. Democrats won key Senate races in battleground states, and the overall Republican margin in the House is expected to remain narrow.
