These are those who performed well on election day and those who fell short of expectations.

The winners.
Trump.
Trump exceeded all predictions, including some of the more conservative projections for the 2024 election. The Fox News Decision Desk predicted that Trump would win the election by accumulating the required 270 electoral votes before several other crucial swing states were called. He defeated Vice President Kamala Harris by significant margins in a number of crucial battleground states.
Republicans.
There were notable wins for Republicans in every category after Trump’s predicted victory at the top of the ticket. With victories in formerly blue states like West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana, the Fox News Decision Desk predicted that Senate Republicans would regain the majority in 2025. The party is hoping for an even bigger majority because there are still several Senate races up for grabs in swing states.

those who lose.
Chuck Schumer.
Charles Schumer, D-N, is the Senate majority leader. Yep. is among the biggest losers of this election, as voters overwhelmingly eliminated his party’s majority in the upper house. Rather, he will be the head of the new Congress’ minority. In West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana, Democrats were predicted to lose, essentially ending their chances of holding onto the majority. Additionally, they were unsuccessful in flipping any of their Republican targets, including Florida and Texas. The GOP could gain a larger majority in swing states in a number of Senate races that have not yet been called.

pollsters.
Trump was expected to win the 2024 election with a landslide victory, which political polls did not predict. In swing states where he was predicted to win, the former president was underestimated by RealClearPolitics polling averages, which also showed Trump leading by a smaller margin than he actually did in other battlegrounds. According to the findings of a reputable Iowa pollster, Harris would win the state, but Trump won Iowa by a margin of double digits.

Democrats. .
Voters nationwide dealt a horrific blow to the Democratic Party as a whole. According to Fox News Decision Desk projections, the consequences of that defeat further dragged down candidates overall, in addition to the fact that the American people flatly rejected their presidential nominee. The fight for the political survival of incumbent senators in certain swing states may take days to conclude. In Montana and Ohio, the party has already lost two seats that were previously held by the blue-held party. There is also optimism among House Republicans that they could complete the GOP trifecta in Washington, D.C. A.
