What Happens If Trump and Kamala Tie?

A tie in the 2024 presidential election is way more plausible than you might think. There are multiple scenarios that get us to a tie — one of which is among the likeliest electoral scenarios. The tiebreaker is pretty bizarre, and in this election it gives one candidate a huge advantage. It could also result in a bizarre administration with a Trump/Walz or Harris/Vance ticket.

I’m not going to lie—I just now learned how each state’s Electoral College votes are calculated thanks to Max Towey.

If they tie by seats they should just give it to the popular vote

Walz would immediately try to 25th Amendment Trump.
