Rank	Article	Class	Views	Image	Notes/about
1	2024 United States presidential election		7,699,454		U.S. election between Trump (#3) and Harris (#4); the most-recent edition of #24. Trump won both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote.
2	2020 United States presidential election		5,930,052		Previous U.S. election, between Trump (#3) and Biden (#17), with the latter winning.
3	Donald Trump		4,390,156		Elected as the 47th U.S. President, after triumphing victorious on #1 against #4. He became the second president to win non-consecutive elections after Grover Cleveland (1884 and 1892).
4	Kamala Harris		3,049,572		Lost 2024 U.S. presidential election (#1). Plenty of reasons can be found for the defeat, such as Harris not appearing assertive enough once turned into the candidate, a campaign more focused on "the other candidate is bad" than how she'd be the better option, and a lack of information on how to fix the widespread economic insecurity.
5	2016 United States presidential election		2,985,915		Previous U.S. election, between Trump (#3) and Hillary Clinton, with the former winning.
6	JD Vance		1,775,571		Elected Vice President of the U.S., as part of the Republican Party's ticket.
7	Quincy Jones		1,621,220		One of the greatest music producers of all time, whose work includes the best-selling album ever and the Austin Powers theme, and also had a hand in television by helping make shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Mad TV, died on November 3 at the age of 91. Former Presidents Clinton and Obama, as well as President Biden and VP Harris all paid their tributes.
8	2024 United States elections		1,514,431		In addition to the presidential election (#1), the U.S. also saw elections in the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as gubernatorial and legislative elections.
9	2012 United States presidential election		1,374,415		Previous U.S. election, between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Drew interest from readers re-visiting previous election results.
10	United States Electoral College		1,346,015		A subject of discussion during every U.S. presidential election cycle. With 87% votes reported, and Arizona and Nevada yet to be officially called, Trump (#3) won the Electoral College decidedly 295–226 over Harris (#4).
11	Project 2025		1,313,997
12	2008 United States presidential election		1,293,070		Previous U.S. election, between Barack Obama and John McCain. Drew interest from readers re-visiting previous election results.

14	List of presidents of the United States		1,013,481
15	Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3		1,001,871		What a relief going from Washington to India for a change! This comedy horror from Bollywood has Kartik Aaryan returning as a phony ghostbuster forced to actually deal with the supernatural, and the film's release on Diwali already pushed it among the year's highest grossing.
16	Melania Trump		998,294		Current wife of #3, and set to be the 47th First Lady of the United States.
17	Singham Again		961,871		Bollywood's other movie that released alongside #14. It received mixed reviews, but has done well at the box office so far.
