Jan. 15, 2025: On November 5, 2024, the American people elected Donald Trump and JD Vance as the President and Vice President of the United States for the next four years.
The leadup to the election was unusual with Joe Biden stepping down as the democratic nominee for president on July 21, 2024, and Kamala Harris stepping up. Since Harris' loss, some of her backers have criticized Biden for stepping out of the race so late because it gave Harris less than three months to make her case to the American people.
Donald Trump and JD Vance ultimately prevailed, winning both the popular vote and the electoral college vote.
With the Inauguration coming up on January 20, 2025, we thought it would be a good time to share how Bronxville voted in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Below are the election results for the nation, Westchester and Bronxville, and some observations.
