2024’s election was perhaps the most tumultuous and interesting in our nation’s history, and November 5 will certainly be a day to remember for centuries to come. As of Wednesday morning the majority of votes have been counted and the majority of races have been called. As more votes are counted, we will update this article as needed.
Connect with others in your state in prayer.
Here are the current results:
The Presidency
AP News called the race for President Donald J. Trump at 5:35 a.m. EST on Wednesday. This followed Trump’s victories in multiple key swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Although votes are still being counter and some states are still undecided, Trump has secured the 270 votes necessary to return to the White House.
As of 8:20 a.m. EST on Thursday, Trump has 295 electoral votes to Harris’ 226. Trump also secured 72 million votes to Harris’ 67 million, meaning that he won the popular vote as well.
The Senate
Arguably as newsworthy as Trump’s victory is the many Republican victories in the Senate. The GOP has won several key races, flipping Senate seats in Montana, Ohio, and West Virginia. This means that, going into 2025, Republicans will control the upper chamber of Congress as well as the White House.
As of 8:20 a.m. EST on Thursday, Republicans have flipped three seats, giving them 52 Senators compared to the Democrats’ 44 (including 3 independents who caucus with the party).
The House
Republicans went into the election with a slim majority in the House and, thus far, they are keeping that majority. We will continue to follow the election and update you as more races are called.
As of 8:20 a.m. EST on Thursday, Republicans have flipped 1 seat, and they currently have 206 Representatives to the Democrats’ 191. As many races have yet to be called, neither side has reached the 218 required for majority control.
The Ballot Measures
Several states has important issues on the ballot this November as voters weighed in on state constitution amendments. One key issue was abortion, and voters made their voices heard in support of both life and abortion.
In Montana, Colorado, Nevada, Maryland, and New York, all states with existing protections for abortion, voters chose to enshrine pro-choice values in their states’ constitutions. Voters in Missouri and Arizona, states with existing abortion bans, voted in a similar fashion, overturning their states bans and enshrining access to abortion.
Voters in South Dakota and Nebraska, however, voted differently. In SD, a measure to permit abortion in the first three months of pregnancy failed. In NE, meanwhile, voters chose to enshrine the state’s current 12-week ban into the constitution.
Most notably, two key measures in Florida failed. Amendment 3, intended to legalize recreational marijuana, and amendment 4, intended to legalize abortion, both fell short of the required 60%. This is a huge answer to our prayers, as we have prayed about amendment 4 multiple times.
California also voted for a ballot measure increasing penalties for retail theft and drug possession, representing a stark rejection of the soft-on-crime policies so prevalent in America’s big cities.
As the remaining votes are counter, share your prayers for the election below.

Lord of angel armies, I sense our adversary plotting to prevent the change of administration. We pray by the power of your sacrificial blood to bind and prevent all plots against peace in our nation. Lord, in your divine wisdom control and obstruct all demonically inspired plans to cause chaos, declare martial law or cause manmade disasters that will harm our nation or prevent a peaceful transfer of power. You, Lord, have given us your inspired Way of Justice and righteousness for all people. Pour out your favor and blessings, wisdom and power on all who truly seek your peace and grant protection over the future victory you have so graciously given us. In your precious name, Jesus our Savior. Amen
Amen!
Holy, Sovereign Creator, Most High God: It IS You who reigns over that which You created, it IS You who delivers us and have delivered us from wicked rules and rulers and it IS You that provides, prepares, purposes, pardons and has plans for us. It IS You who is our Portion.
I Thank You that Your eyes, ears. and hands continue to be about this Nation and Your people. I Thank You for the great removals. In the matter of election results for the House of Representatives, I look to You that the remaining seats are reserved for Bible believing Born Again men and woman who stand on Your Word and tenants, who are bold for the Constitution of the US and who delight in Your oversight.
Should any attempts of fraud be in play, plotted or planned, I Thank You that as you rule over Your creation, that You over rule those plans and once again deliver us from the snares of the wicked.
Thank You that Holy Spirit is hovering about and over the Nation, Your People and is changing the atmosphere in EVERY area where His Presence rests.
Most High God, You are Holy and worthy to be praised.
In Yahshua’s – Jesus the Anointed One – Name. Amen
So thankful for every victory!! Trusting the Lord to grant wisdom moving forward. Holy Spirit, please move powerfully throughout our nation awakening and transforming the church, and reviving those still dead in their sins to new life in Yeshua! To Him be all the glory!
Holy Father, we pray for hearts that will be softened throughout the US and the world to know that they have been forgiven much, so they will love you more and want to do your will, regardless of laws that permit murder in the name of abortion. Not by might nor power, but by Your Spirit may this be done!
