Though it’s a highly unlikely outcome, there is a possibility that former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris could end up tied in the Electoral College. Under the terms laid out in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, to win the presidency, a candidate must receive more than half of all electoral votes. Currently, there are 538 total electoral votes, placing the majority threshold at 270 votes, which constitutes half of the total plus one.
But this year, various election map configurations could result in both Trump and Harris failing to reach this margin and ending up in a 269–269 tie. The situation wouldn’t be unprecedented in U.S. history: The elections of 1800 and 1824 each ended with no clear electoral victory.
But while the Constitution provides a remedy for the situation, such an outcome could still present a constitutional crisis in the deeply divided modern political landscape.
Here’s how a tie could happen—and what would happen if it did.
How Could It Happen?
In the past two instances where neither candidate received a majority, the outcome was heavily influenced by the presence of third parties and simple procedural errors.
However, with independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s departure from the race, the 2024 contest is now squarely between Trump and Harris, with third-party candidates polling around 1 percent.

Had Kennedy remained in the race, he hypothetically could have prevented either party from winning by taking a single state if the election were close. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
