US Election 2024 Result Date: When Will Americans Know Who Won the US Election? That’s what experts say

The results of the 2024 US election could likely be announced on the Saturday after Election Day, according to Fox News decision chief Arnon Mishkin. In an interview with Politico, the 69-year-old emphasized that this point in time corresponds to the point in time when Biden’s victory in the 2020 elections was last called for. Mishkin indicated that he intended to determine the winner as quickly as possible, although the final vote count could take a few days.

Are voting polls and election forecasts reliable?

Arnon Mishkin has been at the helm of Fox News’ decision-making department since 2008 and has consistently made decisions on election night that have proven to be correct and early. He defends Fox’s very early call in Arizona during the 2020 race, which was heavily criticized but ultimately proved correct as Joe Biden won the state by more than 10,000 votes. He said his process emphasizes data and statistical models.

What will delay the announcement of the election results?

Mishkin explained that counting votes, especially in key swing states, could take several days. Some states may be slower to report results, and the race overall is expected to be very close, increasing uncertainty.

What significance do the contested states have in the 2024 US elections?

Mishkin pointed out that Pennsylvania is a crucial state in determining the outcome of the election. In 2020, the state’s results played a crucial role, and a similar scenario could play out in 2024. When margins are narrow in Pennsylvania, it may take longer to complete the vote count.Also Read: Danger lurks around the corner: Americans struggle to pay off debts and banks brace for losses as a recession-like scene could emerge
