The Nation Decides 2024: Election Analysis (Nov. 6)

Former President Donald Trump is the winner of the 2024 presidential election, according to The Associated Press. President-elect Trump won the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, and leads comfortably in Michigan and Nevada. Trump’s victory concludes a highly competitive election season marked by two assassination attempts and a sudden shift to a new Democratic nominee just a month before the party’s convention.

Republicans have reclaimed control of the Senate, picking up seats in West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio. Top House races include New York and California, where Democrats are trying to win back some of the 10 or so seats that Republicans gained in recent years.
