The election&#8217;s outcome, tipping in favor of the 78-year-old former president, was cemented by victories in North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Leading up to his swearing-in, the U.S. will follow a constitutionally mandated process involving the Electoral College. This process, concluding with meetings on December 17 and the U.S. Congress&#8217;s session on January 6 to tally the electoral votes, will solidify the election&#8217;s outcome.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_US_Electoral_College_System\"><\/span>Understanding the U.S. Electoral College System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Electoral College plays a critical role in determining the president.
