In a tight race for the White House, Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris are vying for the highest office in the United States. As polls across most states closed early Wednesday, results have continued to come in, giving a preliminary edge to Trump in the electoral vote count.
According to U.S. media reports, Trump has so far secured victories in 24 states, adding substantial numbers to his electoral count with significant wins in Texas and Ohio, along with key battlegrounds like Georgia and North Carolina. These victories, in traditionally Republican-leaning areas, have contributed to a current tally of 243 electoral votes for Trump.
Meanwhile, Harris has claimed wins in 15 states, including large Democratic strongholds such as California and New York, along with the District of Columbia. These regions have pushed her total to 194 electoral votes, placing her behind Trump in the initial stages of the count.
With 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency, the election is expected to hinge on the results from a few remaining battleground states. Analysts suggest that these contested regions will likely determine the final outcome, as both candidates await the final count in critical areas.
