To win the presidency in the United States, a candidate needs to secure a majority of the electoral college votes, which currently stands at 270 out of 538. Each state is allocated a certain number of electors based on its representation in Congress, and the candidate who wins the popular vote in a particular state typically receives all of that state's electors.
