Mr Trump has won at least 295 electoral college votes, more than what was needed to push him over the line of 270 to become the president-elect of the United States. Though two states (Arizona and Nevada) have not yet been called, Mr Trump has already surpassed the number of votes to secure his return trip to the White House.
Votes will continue to be counted and certified in the coming days and weeks, so these numbers may not be final. But at this stage in the race, here are the numbers you need to know from the 2024 presidential election, from turnout to Senate control.
1. The electoral college
Mr Trump has won at least 295 votes in the electoral college compared to Ms Harris’s 226.
While Arizona and Nevada have not yet officially been called, both states show Mr Trump leading at this stage.
This means that Mr Trump may have a stronger electoral college victory than incumbent president Joe Biden in 2020, and by Mr Trump’s first win in 2016.
All of those totals, however, are weaker than many of the preceding presidents including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan.
Mr Trump is still on track to win the popular vote, but those numbers are still being determined as more counties report results.
2. Turnout remains high
Under current projections by the University of Florida Election Lab, turnout remains close to the record-breaking high in 2020.
National turnout has been estimated at 64.5 per cent, with around 158 million ballots counted out of the 245 million eligible voters.
Turnout in-line with 2020 record
Turnout overall hovers around 65% compared to the record-high of 66% in 2020. Note: votes are still being counted and turnout is not final.
In 2020, around 65.9 per cent of the population showed up to vote, the highest turnout since 1900.
