Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, the president-elect.

Exit polls indicated that Trump was perceived as better able to handle the economy than Harris, with a 52 to 46 percent advantage.

Real disposable income increased by 9 percent from June 2022, but perceptions of the economy did not align with these improvements.

The perception of economic conditions during the Biden administration was negatively impacted by inflation and high prices, despite positive economic metrics.

The narrative around economic performance and relief efforts during the pandemic influenced voter perceptions, with some attributing relief checks solely to Trump.
