Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been declared the winner in Idaho for the 2024 election, as reported by the Associated Press. The announcement came at 9 pm, shortly after the polls closed statewide. By 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Trump held 66.4% of the vote, while Democratic contender Kamala Harris had secured 30.9%, based on figures from the Idaho Secretary of State’s website.
With this victory, Trump will claim Idaho’s four electoral votes. To win the presidency, a candidate needs a majority of the nation’s 538 electoral votes, totaling at least 270.
Trump's strong performance in Idaho aligns with past results: he won 59% of the state's votes in 2016 and 64% in 2020, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s data. Analysts anticipate that the outcome of this closely contested presidential race will hinge on a few critical battleground states.
In his victory speech, Trump expressed gratitude to his supporters for re-electing him, stating that this period would mark the beginning of a new era of national reconciliation.
"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president," he said. "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate – wow that's good," Trump declared to his supporters in Florida.
