A unique evening. This Tuesday, November 5, 2024, American voters who had not already voted by mail or early had to go to the polls to decide between the two main candidates: Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. As a reminder, American citizens actually vote for 538 electors, who then designate the president. And to achieve an absolute majority, one of the candidates must reach 270 votes.

While a famous historian predicted Kamala Harris' victory, the latest polls show the two candidates neck and neck. And to know the winner, you will have to be patient. While the first estimates on the identity of the new tenant of the White House will be given during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, the results may not be known this Wednesday morningFrench time. Kamala Harris' campaign teams even warned that “the final results will not be known for several days”.
