Fact check: How many electoral votes did each candidate get in the 2024 election

Checked on August 14, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, the 2024 presidential election electoral vote count has been consistently reported across multiple sources. Donald Trump received 312 electoral votes while Kamala Harris received 226 electoral votes [1] [2] [3] [4]. This information comes from official sources including The American Presidency Project and Electoral College Results documentation.

Several sources confirmed that Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election [5], though some sources focused on providing state-by-state results rather than the final electoral vote tallies [6] [2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question is straightforward and factual, asking only for electoral vote counts. However, the analyses reveal some missing context that could provide a more complete picture:

  • The sources mention additional context and analysis of the election results beyond just the vote counts [3], though the specific details of this analysis are not provided in the summaries
  • Some sources offered state-by-state breakdowns and live results maps [6], which could provide insight into how the electoral votes were distributed geographically
  • The margin of victory (86 electoral votes) and what this represents in terms of Electoral College dynamics is not discussed in the available analyses

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains no apparent misinformation or bias. It is a straightforward factual inquiry about official election results. The question is neutral in tone and seeks objective, verifiable information about electoral vote counts.

The consistency across multiple independent sources [1] [2] [3] [4] reporting the same figures - Trump: 312, Harris: 226 - suggests these are the accurate, official results. No conflicting vote counts were reported in any of the analyses, indicating a clear consensus on the final electoral vote tally.
