Biden's win came as voter turnout rose 7% over 2016, resulting in a total of 66% of U.S. adult citizens casting a ballot in the 2020 election, the Washington, D.C.-headquartered center said. Biden's popular vote differential was also better than fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton's 2016 two-point advantage, according to the fact tank.

It's the first time Trump has topped an opponent in the popular vote​, and only the second time since 1988 that any Republican has done so.

A handful of undecided House races will determine whether Republicans take full control of Congress. It is too soon to confirm that Trump won the popular vote.

Trump defeated Clinton 304-227 in the Electoral College. Although Vice President Kamala Harris was already declared the winner in Massachusetts, the popular vote total for the 2024 presidential election hasn't been finalized yet.

Seventeen blue states and D.C. belong to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, nearing the 270 electoral votes to activate it.

While Trump is projected to win the presidency and Republicans the Senate, control of the House is still unclear, and some swing states have not yet been called.

Preliminary data shows President-elect Donald Trump earned more votes than many polls had projected including in the deep-blue state of California.

To no one’s surprise, Vice President Kamala Harris secured the winning vote against her opponent, former President Donald Trump, in her home state of California. Nonetheless, multiple California counties flipped red for the Republican ticket this election cycle.
