Donald Trump has won Michigan in 2024 election

The results for Michigan, one of the seven swing states of the 2024 presidential elections are now in.

Earlier today (November 5), polls closed across Michigan at 8:00pm local time, although, with Dickinson, Gogebic, Iron and Menominee observing Central Time, their polling closed an hour later at 9:00pm ET.

And the results are now in.

After almost three decades of being a Democratic state, Donald Trump won Michigan in 2016. But the state flipped in Joe Biden's favor in 2020.

A recent poll by Emerson College and The Hill between October 30 - November 2 stood at 50 percent for Kamala Harris and 48 percent for Trump out of 790 likely voters.

Ahead of the polls closing, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said during an appearance on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan on Sunday: "In 2020, we had the results of our highest turnout election in Michigan history within 24 hours of the polls closing. The unofficial results were completed by 8 p.m. on Wednesday. So, we're tracking that again this year.

"We do have more options to process ballots sooner than Election Day, which is where we were restricted in 2020.

"So, I'm optimistic we could see results even sooner. But I would estimate end of the day on Wednesday as the best guess on how we'll perform.

"But that said, we will always prioritize accuracy and security over efficiency. Understanding how much people will want those results, we're still going to make sure the process is secure and accurate before we put anything out to the public.

"But that said, we understand people's energy and excitement, and we'll be working hard to ensure those results are ready as soon as possible."

The results have since shown that Donald Trump has won Michigan.

But what about the other swing states?

What are the swing states for the 2024 US election?

These are the states that have seen very similar levels of support for Republican nominee former POTUS Donald Trump and the Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris ahead of the US election.

Arizona

In 2016, Trump won Arizona when he became president, but in 2020 he lost it narrowly to President Joe Biden by around 10,000 votes.

A recent poll conducted by Emerson College and The Hill between October 30 - November 2 of 900 likely voters predicted Trump coming away with 50 percent of votes and Harris with 48 percent.

Georgia

Trump won the state of Georgia in 2016, but once again lost it to President Biden in 2020 by fewer than 12,000 votes.

This marked the first time a Democratic candidate had won the state since Bill Clinton in 1992.

Similarly to Arizona, Emerson College's poll in Georgia out of 800 likely voters showed Trump with 50 percent and Harris with 49 percent.

Nevada

Nevada has been a blue state for the last four presidential elections, but this time around, the possibility increased significantly of it flipping and becoming a red state.

The recent poll conducted with 790 likely voters and saw a tie with both Trump and Harris showing 48 percent.

North Carolina

A typically Republican state, North Carolina is still recovering from the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The poll of 860 likely voters came out at 49 percent for Trump and 48 percent for Harris.

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania saw Biden win by 82,000 votes in 2020, but Emerson College's poll of 1,000 likely voters leant ever so slightly in Trump's favour - Trump predicted as obtaining 49 percent of votes and Harris 48.

Wisconsin

A classically Democratic state, Wisconsin was flipped by Trump in 2016, however, it was flipped back in 2020 by President Biden. The recent poll of 800 likely voters saw a tie between Trump and Harris with both showing 48 percent.
