On December 17, local time, President-elect Trump has secured enough electoral votes in the meetings of the electoral college across the states, officially winning the presidency.
The electoral college meeting is a key step in the U.S. presidential election system, where a candidate needs to obtain 270 out of 538 electoral votes to be elected president. The final tally shows that Trump won 312 electoral votes.
Next, the results of the electoral votes from each state will be sent to Congress. Members of Congress will officially count the electoral votes during a joint session on January 6, announcing Trump and Vance as the next President and Vice President, respectively. Trump and Vance will be officially sworn in on January 20, 2025. (Jinshi) #dyor
