See which states Trump won in the 2024 election that he didn't win in 2020
President-elect Donald Trump is the projected winner of the 2024 election, claiming victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the White House.
As of Saturday evening, with a final win in Arizona, Trump was projected to win 312 electoral votes, 42 more than the 270 needed to clinch victory.
The president-elect has won all seven battleground states, according to CBS News projections. The seven states considered battlegrounds this year were Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. President Biden won six of them in 2020 — all but North Carolina.
Here's a look at the states Trump lost in 2020 but won in 2024:
Georgia
CBS News projected Trump would win Georgia on election night. Votes are still being counted in Georgia, but with 99% of jurisdictions reporting, he's leading by about 2 percentage points.
Trump's reclaiming of Georgia comes four years after he lost to Mr. Biden there by fewer than 12,000 votes, which prompted a failed attempt to pressure state officials to "find" the votes he'd need to win.
Michigan
Michigan, after going for Mr. Biden in 2020, slipped back into Trump's win column this year. With 99% of jurisdictions reporting results, as of 1 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Trump was leading by a margin of 1.5 percentage points, or roughly 83,000 votes.
Mr. Biden secured Michigan four years ago by just over 150,000 votes.
Pennsylvania
Trump won the crucial battleground of Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral votes with a 2.3-point margin, or just over 150,000 votes as of Wednesday afternoon. Votes are still being counted.
In 2020, Mr. Biden defeated Trump in the Keystone State by 181,000 votes.
Wisconsin
Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes returned to Trump this election. With 99% of the vote in, Trump led Harris in the state by just 1 percentage point, or almost 30,000 votes, as of 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
In 2016, Trump ended Democrats' decades-long winning streak in Wisconsin when he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In previous years, Democrats won the state in every presidential election since 1988.
However, Mr. Biden prevailed in Wisconsin 2020 by less than 1 point.
Nevada
CBS News projected late Thursday night that Trump had won Nevada and its six electoral votes. Mr. Biden won Nevada in 2020 by over 30,000 votes. The state had not gone for a Republican since 2004.
Arizona
CBS News projected Saturday night that Trump had won Arizona and its 11 electoral votes.
In 2020, Mr. Biden edged out Trump in Arizona by 0.3 points, a razor-thin margin of 10,457 votes. This marked only the second time Arizona voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1948, putting all eyes on the Grand Canyon State as a battleground in the 2024 election.

North Carolina
North Carolina was the one battleground state Mr. Biden lost to Trump in 2020. It stayed red in 2024; with 99% of the vote in, Trump has a 3.3-point lead over Harris in the Tar Heel State.
