America Votes! 2024

The United States is a HUGE country, like a giant playground stretching across North America! It has big cities with tall buildings and wide-open spaces with farms and mountains. People vote in every state, from sunny Florida to snowy Alaska. The votes are counted to see who wins the big jobs!

Choosing a president is like picking a class president, but for the whole country! In 2024, two main people wanted the job: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. After everyone voted, Donald Trump was chosen to be the next president. It's a very important decision for everyone in America!

Besides the president, Americans also vote for people who make the country's rules. These rule-makers sit in special buildings called the Senate and the House of Representatives. In 2024, the Republican team won more seats in both of these places, meaning they got to lead them!

When people vote, they think about important things. In 2024, people talked a lot about how to make money for everyone (the economy), if people should be able to choose if they have babies (abortion), how to welcome people from other countries (immigration), and keeping the country safe and fair (democracy and foreign policy).
