As the 2024 U.S. election results pour in, both Democratic and Republican candidates have secured significant victories across states, with several critical races still in play. Here’s a breakdown of the latest results and margins by state, according to the Cook Political Report’s real-time forecast.
Democratic Wins and Leading Margins
In states with a strong Democratic lead, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to win easily in areas like California (D+17), Hawaii (D+26), and Vermont (D+32). High voter turnouts are reported in states like Colorado (D+11), Connecticut (D+11), and Maryland (D+23), where Democrats hold commanding margins with over 75% of votes counted. Massachusetts (D+26) and New York (D+11) are similarly expected to stay blue as more ballots are processed.
Narrow Democratic Wins
Some states are on the edge, with Democrats holding narrow leads. Maine (D+8), Minnesota (D+4), and New Hampshire (D+3) are still too close to call, but Democrats are projected to maintain their edge. New Mexico (D+6) and Virginia (D+5) are also expected to favor the Democrats with most votes counted.
Competitive States
Several states are still highly competitive, including Arizona (R+5), Georgia (R+2), Michigan (R+1.6), and Nevada (R+5), with Republicans leading by narrow margins. North Carolina (R+3), Pennsylvania (R+2), and Wisconsin (R+0.92) also remain in contention, with both parties closely watching the results.
Republican Strongholds
In more Republican-leaning states, Trump is expected to win easily in places like Alabama (R+31), Idaho (R+36), and Kentucky (R+31). Texas (R+14) and Florida (R+13) are among the larger states where Republicans have secured a commanding lead. Other states with large Republican victories include Oklahoma (R+34), South Carolina (R+18), and West Virginia (R+42).
As results continue to be counted, all eyes are on the remaining competitive races in battleground states to determine the final balance of power in the U.S. Senate and House.
