The key swing states and counties that handed Trump the White House – a visual analysis

Donald Trump has won the majority of electoral college votes to defeat Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election.

Despite polling gains for the Democrats after Biden’s exit from the race in July, Harris failed to maintain a lead and the election was neck-and-neck in the final weeks of the campaign.

As of 9.10 ET (14.10 GMT) on Wednesday, more than 2,800 of nearly 3,200 counties had returned more than 90% of their votes. The results show that America has firmly swung back to the Republicans. The Democrats won 2020 by expanding their share of votes across the country, but 90% of counties swung back to the Republicans in 2024.
