Polling stations across the United States have now closed, with the results continuing to unfold. As of the latest count, Donald Trump holds 270 electoral votes, leading Kamala Harris, who has secured 213.
Republican candidate Donald Trump is currently leading in each of the key swing states, which could play a decisive role in the election, according to the BBC.
Trump has won in North Carolina, securing its 16 electoral votes, and is ahead of Harris in six other swing states. In Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, between a small fraction and over 90% of votes have been counted, with Trump maintaining a lead in each.
Additionally, Trump is leading in Pennsylvania with 51.2%, the Associated Press writes.
The agency notes that Kamala Harris, having lost Pennsylvania, will not be able to get the 270 electoral votes needed to win, even if she compensates for a possible loss in the key states of Michigan or Wisconsin with victories in Arizona and Nevada.
According to CNN’s John King explained that while Harris could still assemble a path to victory by securing the “Blue Wall” states — Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — alongside Sun Belt states like Nevada and Arizona, “there’s no way to get there without Pennsylvania.”
Harris, however, still has an arithmetic chance of winning in all states.
According to The New York Times, Trump’s campaign team is reportedly confident and has already started celebrations, believing a victory is within reach.
On September 27, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with former US President Donald Trump for nearly an hour on Friday morning, at Trump Tower. The meeting highlighted the importance of the United States maintaining a clear understanding of Ukraine’s position in the ongoing war. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for a just resolution to end Russia’s aggression, stressing that the goal was to prevent any other nation from emulating Russia’s actions.
