In the United States, the presidency is awarded on a winner-takes-all basis. Therefore, the person who gets the most votes in a state also gets all of that state's electoral votes. The more populous a state is, the more electoral votes it receives. The only exceptions are Maine and Nebraska, where the vote is split. 270 electoral votes are needed to win.

Many states have clearly been in Democratic or Republican hands for decades. For example, Republicans have won Utah in every presidential election since 1972. On the other hand, the District of Columbia’s electoral votes always go to Democratic candidates.
Instead, some states vote sometimes for Republicans and sometimes for Democrats, so-called swing states. This year they are: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The 2024 presidential race will also be decided in these states. All have fallen, or are likely to fall, into the hands of Donald Trump.

The House of Representatives, on the other hand, reflects the population. U.S. states are divided into what are called “Congressional Districts.” These areas have an average population of 760,000 Americans. There are 435 such districts, including 435 seats in the House of Representatives.
For a party to gain a majority in the House of Representatives, it needs 218 seats. All these seats are subject to elections every two years.
