Now the picture will become clear in a short time, a close contest is being seen between the two. Meanwhile, the question arises that what will happen if there is a tie between the two in the US presidential election. For information, let us tell you that before this, the presidential contest has been tied twice in the history of America in 1800 and 1824. If this time too the contest between Trump and Kamala Harris is tied, then how will the President be selected?

Who will become president?

In fact, if the contest is a tie, then it will be decided in the lower house of the US Parliament i.e. the House of Representatives. There are 435 representatives from all 50 states in the House of Representatives. Each state has one vote. The candidate who gets 26 votes from the 50 states becomes the President. The US Constitution says that the Congress will play a decisive role in such a case.

If there is a tie, how will the President be elected?

But if there is a tie of 269-269, then the Lower House will choose Kamala and if the Republicans get more votes in the Senate, they can choose their Vice President. This time the challenge for Trump is to win this election by a big margin. If the contest between the two is close, then the House of Representatives can make Kamala Harris the first woman and black President of America.

Donald Trump won in 13 states

According to the latest results, in the US Presidential Election 2024, Republican Donald Trump has won Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, Florida and 13 other states whose results are being declared, while Democrat Kamala Harris has captured New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maryland.

A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to claim the presidency, and these initial estimates only provide an early snapshot of the race. Donald Trump was previously the President of the United States from 2016 to 2020. Joe Biden of the Democrat Party defeated him in the 2020 presidential election. Kamala Harris is the Vice President in the Biden administration.
