The claim that Donald Trump won the 2024 US presidential election with an electoral college vote of 312 to Kamala Harris' 226 is true. This claim is backed up by the fact that many other trusted news sources reported the same thing. The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/10/trump-wins-arizona-completing-sweep-of-all-seven-battleground-states-ap-reports) and the Associated Press (https://apnews.com/projects/election-results-2024/) also report that Donald Trump won the US Presidential election with 312 electoral votes.

It’s important to be cautious when discussing election results, especially so soon after an election. As of now, official election results haven't been fully certified, and while news outlets like The Guardian and the Associated Press report on outcomes, these reports may still be subject to final confirmation and recounts. The Electoral College tally, as well as the winner, is officially determined after states certify their results and electors cast their votes.

The claim that Donald Trump has won the 2024 Presidential election with 312 electoral college votes as opposed to Kamala Harris' 226 seems to be true. The count has been confirmed by many sources such as the Associated Press (https://apnews.com/projects/election-results-2024/), who have been doing this for 170 years and they explain how they count such votes with (https://apnews.com/article/ap-race-calls-presidential-election-winners-0fd480f8ba2f37d0439b76e0c7071413). NBC is also found to have the same results (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/president-results). Although the election results have all but been confirmed now, they are still subject to recounts and the final confirmation, so take that into consideration.
