Chicago – November 06, 2024
The first votes have been counted, polling places are closing and results will be rolling in all night and beyond as Election Day 2024 plays out Tuesday in big cities and small towns across America.
More than half of U.S. states have been called, with former President Donald Trump quickly picking up Florida, Ohio and several Southern Republican strongholds. Vice President Kamala Harris has won a group of states in the Northeast, stretching from Vermont to Maryland, as well as New York.
The nominees have spent months pitching plans for handling inflation and the economy, the Southern border, abortion rights and other top issues. The result has been weeks of razor-thin polling margins. And polls in swing states for the all-important Electoral College map 2024 projections have been consistently tight for months.
