Michigan live election results for the 2024 presidential race
What to know about Michigan
Michigan is home to voting demographics that both Trump and Harris have been working to court, including union workers and blue-collar and Black voters. The two candidates have made repeated stops to the battleground state — Harris has visited 12 times throughout 2024, including alongside Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, while Trump has appeared in the state 14 times across this year.
How Michigan voted in 2016 and 2020
The state has swung in its support of presidents over the last three election cycles, voting for President Biden in 2020, Trump in 2016 and former President Barack Obama in 2012.

Watch Live: Trump expected to speak as Harris’ path to victory narrows
Former President Donald Trump is expected to speak early Wednesday morning at his Election Night headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, as Vice President Kamala Harris’ path to victory narrows.
CBS News has not yet made a projection in the presidential race, as Trump doesn’t currently have the electoral votes to declare victory.
So far, the battleground states CBS News is projecting Trump will win are North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania. CBS News rates Wisconsin as leans Trump. He needs 270 electoral votes to win.
Harris was expected to celebrate Election Night at her alma mater, Howard University, but after midnight, Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told the crowd she won’t speak to supporters tonight. Harris has remained at the vice president’s residence in Washington, D.C.
Trump’s supporters at his watch party in West Palm Beach were upbeat Tuesday night as results rolled in, with Fox News playing in the background. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum were among those supporters.
Trump has long cast doubt on the integrity of the election and its results. But he was largely silent on social media Tuesday night, once results appeared to return in his favor.
CBS News projects Republicans will take control of the Senate when the new Congress begins in January.
