About a month after President-elect Donald Trump emerged victorious in the 2024 presidential election, three Democratic legislators have introduced a constitutional amendment that would abolish the Electoral College if passed. Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii,) Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) have voiced concerns about the fact that, in the past two decades, the Electoral College has allowed for the election of a candidate who did not win the popular vote on two separate occasions: George W. Bush in the 2000 election and Trump in the 2016 election. Both of these candidates were from the Republican Party. However, Trump still would have won the 2024 presidential election even if the winner was decided by popular vote, as he garnered roughly 2 million more votes than his Democratic counterpart, Vice President Kamala Harris.
