US Elections 2024 Recap:

• It is a red wave. Trump won the presidential election in a landslide. He won about 10 million votes more than Kamala, the first time he’s ever won the popular vote. As of this writing he has 277 electoral votes to Kamala’s 224, with more likely coming. 270 are needed to win.

• Kamala had terrible turnout. Trump got about the same number of votes as 2020, but Kamala had 20 million less votes than 2020 (That’s 25% less!)

• The Senate flipped to Republican control. They have at least 52 seats, with several close races still not called.

• The House of Representatives is still up in the air. Republicans have a slight lead, but there are still ~50 more races to be called.

• 10 states voted on measures relating to abortion. 6 states voted for abortion rights. South Dakota, Nebraska, and Florida voted to keep their bans or restrictions on abortion.

• The Supreme Court is likely to remain in conservative control in the next few cycles, as Trump will be able to replace 2 justices who are expected to retire soon.

TLDR: Trump and his allies won.
