The race for the next president is on. So when can we expect the voting results?

If this election follows a similar pattern to the 2020 election, some states could begin being called around 5 p.m. Especially where the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t close, according to USA TODAY.

What do you think about past presidential elections?

2000: In the longest delay in history, it took 35 days to declare George W. Bush the winner of the 2000 election.

2016: In the early morning hours the day after the election, Donald Trump was declared the winner.

2020: It took President Joe Biden four days to declare the winner.
