ByCooper Burton and Amina Brown January 16, 2025, 4:21 PM Amid the flurry of discontent with much of Joe Biden's presidency (his approval rating recently hit a new low), the outgoing president has managed to score a quiet victory that could leave an impact long after he has left office: appointing lots of judges.
The 2024 presidential election was close, not a landslide
Was the 2024 presidential election close? It certainly didn't feel that way on election night and in the days immediately after.

By Thursday, Trump had won 51 percent of the votes that had been counted thus far, more than 3 percentage points ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris.

When will we know 2024 election results?
A complete guide to poll closing times and vote counting in every state. ByNathaniel Rakich and Amina Brown November 1, 2024, 1:48 PM Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5 — but that doesn’t mean we’ll know who won the election on that date. With each passing election, more and more Americans are casting mail-in ballots, which take longer to count than in-person votes because they need to be opened and verified. That means that finding out the winner on election night may be a thing of the past.
