2024 Election Could Lead to House of Representatives Deciding Presidency Amid Potential 269-269 Tie Between Trump and Harris
Nov 4, 2024, 12:27 PM
As the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election approaches, discussions are intensifying around the possibility of a tie in the Electoral College. If neither candidate, specifically Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, secures the necessary 270 electoral votes, a contingent election would be triggered. In such a scenario, where both candidates receive 269 votes, the decision would fall to the elected members of Congress. The House of Representatives would then determine the winner, with each state delegation casting one vote. This process raises questions about the implications of a tie and how it would be resolved within the framework of U.S. electoral law.
