Electoral College Formalizes Trump's 2024 Victory with 312 Votes
Dec 17, 2024, 01:58 PM
On December 17, 2024, the Electoral College convened across the United States to formalize Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump secured 312 electoral votes, surpassing the required 270, while Harris received 226. The electors met in their respective state capitols to cast their votes, a ceremonial step following the general election. Trump also won the national popular vote, garnering 77.2 million votes compared to Harris's 75 million. The Electoral College process, governed by the 12th Amendment, involves electors chosen by political parties casting separate ballots for president and vice president. The results will be certified and sent to the Senate, with the final count to be overseen by Vice President Harris on January 6, 2025, leading to Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025.
