    When is the US election? Everything you need to know about the 2024 race

    July 21, 20242 Mins Read


    All but two states, Maine and Nebraska, use a winner-takes-all system, meaning that if a candidate wins the most votes in a state, they take its entire haul of electoral college votes.

    In order to become president, either candidate needs to win a majority of the 538 electors in the electoral college – so 270.

    Critics have questioned the electoral college system because it does not guarantee the most popular candidate gets to the White House.

    For example, in 2016 Hillary Clinton won 48.2 per cent of all votes across the US and Mr Trump 46.1 per cent. But as he won more states, sometimes by a narrow margin, he was elected president.

    The 2024 election will be the first since the 2020 census changed the make-up of the electoral college to adapt to shifting population sizes in each state.

    Texas has gained two electoral votes, while Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon each gained one. California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia each lost one.

    What are the polls showing?

    Prior to Mr Biden standing down, polls were suggesting Trump was leading in a number of critical states, causing alarm among Democrats.

    But while both candidates easily won their primaries, they remain largely unpopular among the whole electorate, with generally low approval ratings.

    Mr Biden’s critics had argued the Democrat president was too old to seek a second term which would end in his 86th year. His son is also mired in scandal over his business deals.
