Fox News correspondent Christina Coleman reports on chances for both parties to push the House down a Democratic or Republican path on 'Fox News Live.'

President-elect Trump's 2024 vote totals have officially surpassed his total vote count from 2020, according to numbers from The Associated Press.

Trump's popular vote total, 74,372,005 votes and counting, surpasses his 2020 total of 74,223,975 despite certain states like California and Arizona still tabulating votes.

According to the AP, Maryland, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Alaska and California have still not finished counting votes. California specifically had only counted 63% of its votes as of 5 p.m. ET, according to The Associated Press.

It is unclear when these states will finish their counts. Approximately 5 million votes or so remain to be counted.
