What if the 2024 election is tied at 269 electoral votes and it goes back to the Senate (which is currently deadlocked)?

Does Kamala still get the tie-breaking vote as VP?

It doesn't go to the Senate but to the House where each State delegation gets one vote.

Right. But doesn't it go to the Senate if the House is tied?

269 to 269. I hope not for sure.
so the magic number is 270, 50% plus one.
