Former President Donald Trump has emerged as the winner of the 2024 US presidential election.​


His opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris has also conceded defeat, calling on her supporters to keep the fight.

Below are the winners and losers of the election:

Winners​


Donald Trump

Defying expectations and outperforming even the most optimistic forecasts, Trump secured victories in key battleground states, surpassing the crucial 270 electoral votes threshold. His win underscores a formidable political comeback and cements his influence over the Republican Party.

Republicans

Trump’s victory paved the way for substantial gains for the Republican Party. The Senate Republicans reclaimed the majority in 2025, thanks to decisive wins in states like West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana, which were previously under Democratic control.

Losers​


Chuck Schumer

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., emerges as a major casualty of the 2024 election. The loss of Democratic seats in West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana marks the end of his party’s Senate majority, relegating him to the role of minority leader. This outcome effectively diminishes the Democrats’ legislative influence and marks a significant shift in Senate power.

Pollsters

The 2024 election underscored persistent challenges within the field of political polling. Pre-election surveys, including those from RealClearPolitics, consistently underestimated Trump’s support. These miscalculations extended to swing states where Trump secured victories and other battlegrounds where his margins exceeded expectations. Notably, a respected Iowa poll showed Harris ahead, only for Trump to win by a substantial margin, reflecting a double-digit deviation.

Democrats

The Democratic Party suffered significant setbacks, as reflected in the projected defeat of their presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. This loss had a domino effect on down-ballot races, endangering incumbent senators and putting Democratic seats at risk. While some Senate races remain uncalled, the loss of traditionally blue states like Ohio and Montana has severely weakened the party’s hold on the upper chamber.
