Trump Projected to Win Popular Vote by 0.8% with 41% of Votes Counted in 2024 Election

Nov 6, 2024, 03:47 AM

As the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election unfolds, projections indicate that Donald Trump is on track to win the popular vote by a margin of approximately 0.8%. With 41% of the votes counted, analysts suggest that Trump's performance in the popular vote could significantly impact the Democratic Party's chances in the election. Observers note that unless there is a substantial turnout from Democratic voters, particularly in California, Trump's lead in the popular vote may solidify. This scenario has prompted discussions among political commentators about the implications of Trump winning both the electoral and popular votes, with some expressing that it would make a potential loss for Democrats more bearable.
