In the recent U.S. presidential election, Republican candidate Donald Trump emerged victorious in eight states, while his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris secured three states and Washington, D.C., according to projections by Edison Research.
Despite this, the final outcome of the election remains uncertain, as key battleground states are not expected to be officially called for several hours or possibly days.
The early tallies align with expectations, pointing to a tight race that hinges on seven crucial swing states: Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Pre-election polls indicated a close race in all seven states.
Trump secured 90 electoral votes by winning in Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Tennessee, while Harris garnered 27 electoral votes from Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. A candidate must obtain a minimum of 270 electoral votes from individual states’ Electoral College to secure the presidency.
