Australian voters have delivered Anthony Albanese "a win for the ages" that should see Labor with more seats than at any point in its history. More even than Kevin Rudd or Bob Hawke after their most famous victories. Albanese outperformed the polls and the pundits' expectations on a historic night that will leave the Coalition interrogating where it all went so very wrong, with Peter Dutton "fired into the Sun" and many other senior figures and potential future leaders wiped out.

Donald Trump has run for US president twice already, and both times he was the loser in terms of sheer number of votes across the country. The reason he became president in 2016, despite losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, is because the election winner is actually determined through a system called the Electoral College. In the 2024 race, national polls show Trump in a neck-and-neck race with Kamala Harris. Either one could take out a majority of votes nationwide.
