Trump Leads in Six Swing States as Harris Trails in Crucial Battlegrounds

Republican Donald Trump has gained significant ground to lead in six swing states for the next year’s presidency as results emerge. The Republican candidate won the state of North Carolina with 50.8% votes and has a fragile lead in Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan but the projections from Nevada are yet to be released.

Hence, Trump’s dominance of the so-called red states has persisted, with clear victories in Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The former president gained 40 electoral college votes from Texas while retaining the state after the 2016 polls. His current electoral vote tally stands at 230, which places him in the vicinity of the magic number of 270 electoral votes for a win.

The fight for the Keystone State has been the most dramatic, for example, Harris has gone from leading by two percent to now trailing Trump who is ahead by two percent. Georgia, another swing state with 16 electoral votes, has 66% of the votes in it and Trump is in the lead by 5.7 percentage points.

Vice President Harris has championed that key Democratic strongholds must keep winning by a wide margin in New York (28 electoral votes), Illinois (19 votes), and New Jersey (14 votes). Her campaign has also been touting Colorado and Washington, D.C., while California with 54 electoral votes is safe for the Democratic Party.

These victories notwithstanding, Harris faces an uphill battle as far as the remaining swing states are concerned. She would need to carry all the electoral votes in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in which Trump leads at present. The race continues because the state of Nevada has yet to announce results.
