As of November 20, 2024, the national popular vote count shows Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris by a narrow margin of 1.65 percentage points. The latest figures indicate Trump with 76,831,007 votes (49.89%) compared to Harris's 74,296,538 votes (48.24%). This represents a decrease in Trump's lead from previous counts, where he held a margin of 2,613,855 votes earlier in the week. The ongoing tally reflects over 154 million votes counted, with Trump's lead having diminished from 50% to 49.9% since the election. Harris has surpassed the total votes Trump received in the 2020 election, with only Joe Biden's 2020 total of 81.3 million and Trump's current total being higher than previous elections. Trump's popularity among young voters has been attributed to his campaign's focus on non-traditional media engagement.
