Donald Trump has tentatively won the 2024 presidential election after and Decision Desk HQ projected him to win Pennsylvania, ending any path to victory for Vice President .
Trump would also be on track to do something that a candidate hasn’t done in 20 years – win the popular.
Not only would Trump win the Electoral College, but also the popular vote—the first time a Republican has done so since President George W. Bush won re-election in 2004, beating Democratic challenger John Kerry. Bush won around three million more votes than Kerry while also taking 286 Electoral College votes.
In subsequent elections, the Democrats won the popular vote, even when Donald Trump won the Electoral College in 2016 and defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
