Fact check: Which candidates received the most votes in the 2025 presidential election?

Checked on August 24, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, there is no information available about a 2025 presidential election [1] [2] [3]. All sources exclusively discuss the 2024 presidential election, where Donald Trump won with 312 electoral votes and 77,303,568 popular votes, while Kamala Harris received 226 electoral votes and 75,019,230 popular votes [3].

The question appears to be based on a fundamental factual error - there was no presidential election held in 2025. U.S. presidential elections occur every four years, with the most recent being in 2024.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks crucial context about the U.S. electoral cycle. Presidential elections in the United States are held every four years, specifically in years divisible by four (2020, 2024, 2028, etc.). The question assumes the existence of a 2025 presidential election that never occurred.

Key missing information:

  • The 2024 presidential election results are well-documented and available [1] [2] [3]
  • The next scheduled presidential election will be in 2028, not 2025
  • No major candidates would have received votes in a non-existent 2025 election

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains significant factual inaccuracy by referencing a 2025 presidential election that did not take place. This could represent:

  • Confusion about the electoral calendar - mixing up election years or misunderstanding when presidential elections occur
  • Potential disinformation - deliberately asking about non-existent events to create confusion about actual election results
  • Temporal displacement - possibly confusing the 2024 election results with a fictional 2025 election

The question's premise is fundamentally flawed as it seeks information about an event that never occurred, making any direct answer impossible based on factual sources [1] [2] [3].
