US Presidential Elections: Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has won the state of Oregon's 8 electoral votes in the 2024 US presidential election, while Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has won Georgia and its 16 electoral votes. Each candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency, determined by the popular vote in each state. According to Qatar News Agency, the Electoral College comprises 538 votes, with each state allotted a specific number of electoral votes equal to its representation in the House and Senate. The candidate with the most votes in a state wins all of that state's electoral votes, except in Nebraska and Maine, which have a unique system allowing their electoral votes to be split between candidates based on the proportion of votes each receives.
