US Election: Trump Ahead Of Kamala Harris, Polls 266 College Votes


 

 

Former Republican president Donald Trump closed in on a new term in the White House early on Wednesday, needing just a handful of electoral votes to defeat Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

 

US media have so far projected that Trump has won in more than half of the 50 US states, including three key battlegrounds: Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, two of which voted Democratic in the last election.

 

This gives him 266 electoral votes, just shy of the 270 needed to win the presidency. Fox News has already called the race in Trump’s favour.

 

Harris has so far captured 195 electoral votes, including major prizes California and New York, as well as the US capital, Washington.

 

The following is a list of the states won by each candidate and the corresponding number of electoral votes, based on the projections of US media outlets including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC/NBC News, ABC, and CBS.
