PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
This race saw the election of Donald J. Trump and JD Vance as the 47th President and 50th Vice President of the United States, who will succeed Joe Biden, the first President since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968, to decline a re-election bid.

Trump’s win made him the first President since Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) in 1892 to win two non-consecutive terms as President and would be the oldest President to be sworn into office at age 78. He is also the first Republican candidate since George W. Bush in 2004 to win both the electoral and popular vote.

Vance’s win as vice president also makes history as he will be the third youngest Vice-President in US History, grabbing the spot currently held by former VP Dan Quayle (1989-1993) and being preceded in age by John C. Breckinridge, 36, and Richard Nixon, 40. Vance is also the first VP elected from the state of Ohio.

Trump’s victory is also stretching across Riverside County as he currently holds a 7,300 vote lead. If Trump wins the county, it would make him the first Republican to win the county since George W. Bush in 2004.

US SENATE ELECTION (REGULAR)
This race saw the election of Adam Schiff as the next person to represent California in the United States Senate. He will hold the seat for a full six-year term, holding the office from 2025-2031. However, Garvey does lead in this county, making him on track to be the first Republican US Senate nominee to win the county since Congressman Michael Huffington in 1994.

US SENATE ELECTION (SPECIAL)
Adam Schiff also defeated Steve Garvey in the special election for who will represent California in the United States Senate for the rest of the Senate term left vacant by the death of longtime California Senator Dianne Feinstein (1933-2023). Schiff will hold the office until the start of his first full term on Jan. 3, 2025.
