What Happens if the US Election Ends in a Tie?
As the 2024 US Presidential election approaches, the possibility of a tie in the Electoral College looms large. If both candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, end up with 269 electoral votes, the decision moves to the US House of Representatives. Each state delegation has one vote, meaning the candidate who secures 26 delegations wins. The Republican Party currently leads with 26 delegations, while the Democrats hold 22. Additionally, the Vice President will be chosen by the Senate, leading to a scenario where the President and Vice President could belong to different parties.
