After North Carolina, Donald Trump wins second swing state Georgia. Vice President Kamala Harris is not planning to address the public during the night, according to a person familiar with the White House spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.
Donald Trump is en route to his watch party from Mar-a-Lago. He’s expected to speak tonight to his gathered supporters. Republicans won control of the US Senate with victories in West Virginia and Ohio on Tuesday, ensuring that Donald Trump’s party will control at least one chamber of Congress next year.
On Tuesday, former United States President Donald Trump won Kansas and its six electoral votes. Since 1964, Republican candidates have carried Kansas in every presidential election and it was the third election in a row that Trump has won the state.
Kansas City-area suburbs that were once reliable GOP strongholds started leaning more Democratic after Trump was elected president in 2016, but Trump has retained his strong popularity in much of the state and particularly in rural areas. Former President Donald Trump is leading his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in the latest rounds of vote count in the high-stakes US Presidential election.
Voting is still underway in the battleground state of Pennsylvania and several other states. At the same time, counting of early ballots and mail-in votes is going on in these states. According to the media reports, Republican heavyweight Trump is picking up 154 electoral college votes as opposed to 81 by Harris.
A candidate who wins 270 electoral votes or more becomes the president. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris notched early wins in reliably Republican and Democratic states, respectively, as a divided America made its decision in a stark choice for the nation’s future.
Polls closed in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and North Carolina, six of the seven closely fought battlegrounds expected to decide the election. Balloting continued in Nevada and other parts of the West on Election Day, as tens of millions of Americans added their ballots to the 84 million cast early as they chose between two candidates with drastically different temperaments and visions for the country.
