Former president Donald Trump has secured victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election by obtaining 312 votes in the electoral college, surpassing the necessary 270 to win.
Trump has won each of the seven swing states—Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. A large part of his victory in the swing states and elsewhere was due to his popularity among men under 30 (49 percent), Latino men (55 percent), and voters without a college degree (56 percent).
Trump was also more popular amongst voters whose total family income was less than $50,000 in 2023 (50 percent).
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat nominee, lost support largely from Latino voters (-12 percent), voters between the ages of 18 and 29 (-5 percent), and women (-3 percent) when compared to Joe Biden’s performance in his victory over Trump in the 2020 election.
