To win the U.S. presidency, a candidate must secure 270 electoral votes, but a 269-269 tie could lead to a contingent election by Congress.
If neither major candidate achieves an electoral majority, the U.S. House will select the president and the Senate will elect the vice president based on state delegations.
Currently, there’s a very small chance of a 269-269 electoral tie in 2024, yet key swing states could change the election dynamics unexpectedly.
In the event of a contingent election, the process would likely favor Republicans due to state delegation arrangements in the House.
