Donald Trump is edging closer to victory in a highly contested presidential race. Wins in the key states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina—all significant battlegrounds—leave him needing just four more electoral college votes to secure his place as president-elect.
To achieve this, Trump has a strong chance in Alaska, a traditionally Republican state, and the one electoral vote from Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, which has supported him in the last two elections.
Meanwhile, votes are still being counted in other battleground states, including Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan, adding to the suspense of this close race.
In a notable shift, Kamala Harris has yet to secure any of the eight major battleground states for the Democrats.
The exit polls also show an interesting demographic shift. Black and Latino voters have supported the Republican party in higher numbers than in recent years, while white and older voters—particularly women—have gravitated more towards the Democrats.
This realignment signals changes within both parties’ traditional voter bases, adding complexity to an already intense election.
