According to The Associated Press, President-elect Trump's 2024 vote totals have surpassed his total vote count from 2020.

Despite certain states like California and Arizona still tabulating votes, Trump's popular vote total in 2021 has already surpassed his 2020 total of 74,223,975.

It is uncertain when these states will complete their vote counts, with approximately 5 million votes still outstanding.
