2024 Election Day results: Donald Trump projected to win presidency
(NEXSTAR) – Donald Trump is projected to win the presidency, defeating Kamala Harris to win a second, improbable term, according to a Decision Desk HQ projection on News Nation.
The call was made after DDHQ projected Trump to have won both Pennsylvania and Alaska, giving him 270 electoral votes.
It was a historic election with Trump becoming the first president in well over 100 years to lose a presidential election and then mount a successful presidential campaign in non-consecutive terms. The last to do it was President Grover Cleveland in 1892.
The highly-anticipated election follows a wild four years that included two assassination attempts against Trump, a mob of Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and the late entry of Vice President Kamala Harris into the race.
The president-elect and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), are expected to speak shortly from Trump headquarters. Live video will stream in the player above.
