    This is when we achieved results in recent years

    Votes were still being counted in the election on Wednesday morning, but Donald Trump had secured enough votes to win the 2024 presidential election.

    Over the past 24 years, it has taken a matter of hours to more than a month to determine who would be the next president. In the last election, when many more absentee ballots were counted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it took a few days.

    Here’s how long it took to declare a winner in recent elections.

    President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 race against former President Donald Trump on Saturday, November 7 – four days after Election Day that year.

    Trump was expected to win in the 2016 race in the early hours of Wednesday, November 9, the morning after Election Day.

    In 2012, former President Barack Obama was projected to win re-election against Senator Mitt Romney before midnight on Election Day, November 6.

    In 2008, Obama was also elected to his first term on November 4, 2008, against Senator John McCain, in a quick victory announced around 11:00 PM EST after polls closed on Election Day.

    In the 2004 race, President George W. Bush won his second term, behind then-Sen. John Kerry conceded during a phone call on Wednesday, November 3, shortly after 11 a.m. the day after the vote.

    In the longest delay in modern history, it took 35 days after the election to declare President George W. Bush the winner on Tuesday, December 12, 2000.

    Allegations of miscounts, court hearings and logistical voting problems, including an incorrect ballot design, were responsible for the delay.
