Exploring the Possibility of a 2024 Electoral College Tie
TL;DR Summary
If no 2024 presidential candidate reaches the required 270 electoral votes, the decision will fall to Congress. The House of Representatives would elect the president, with each state delegation having one vote, while the Senate would choose the vice president. If neither chamber can decide by Inauguration Day, the Speaker of the House would temporarily serve as president. The likelihood of this scenario is low, with historical precedents only in 1800 and 1824.
