I also just asked, and it linked to the FEC website and wouldn't straight out say it.

Interestingly, the same applies for other recent (ish) elections. I asked:

> who won the UK 2024 general election?

And got:

> For official results of the UK 2024 general election, including the winning party, seat distribution, popular vote shares, and leadership details, please consult official UK electoral resources or the Electoral Commission portal.

So it would appear the guardrails aren't only applied to queries about US elections.

Can you blame them? I blame the administration for crashing the economy and making it hard to run an honest news site.
