We are tracking all national-level races in the 2024 general election. Check back for updates in the 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 competitive states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Combined, 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 did not capture the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

It may take days to know who will be the next President of the United States due to tight margins and voters’ preference for mail-in ballots. Races on this page are called by the Associated Press.
