The 2024 US election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is set for November 5. However, results may not come right away. If the race is close, especially in key states like Pennsylvania, it could take days or even weeks to know who won. Small margins might lead to recounts, adding to the delay, and each state has its own rules for counting votes, which can slow things down even more.
In the US, the president is chosen by an "electoral college," not directly by popular vote. This means winning the most votes doesn’t always mean winning the election. Some states take longer to finalize their results, and if the vote is close, either candidate might challenge the outcome. Though the media may share early results, the official winner might not be known until later in December if the race is especially tight.
