Trump wins second swing state: LIVE UPDATES Trump inching closer to election win: LIVE UPDATES
(about 1 hour later)
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have encouraged their supporters to stay in line to vote in one of the closest contests in US history The Republican is projected to have a lead over Democrat Kamala Harris in seven swing states, according to US media
Americans went to the polls on Tuesday to choose between Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race for the White House. Polls have shown Harris and Trump locked in a dead heat nationally, as well as in key swing states, with pollsters predicting one of the closest presidential races in US history. Donald Trump is the favorite to win the US presidency in the hotly contested race for the White House against Kamala Harris as he is leading in several battleground states, multiple polls and media organizations have predicted.  
More than 78 million Americans had already cast their ballots in early voting by Monday morning, according to data from the Election Lab at the University of Florida. Harris and Trump spent the last full day of campaigning making a final push in battleground states, selling wildly different visions of the country’s future to voters. The New York Times projection has estimated Trump’s chances of victory at over 95%, adding that he is “very likely” to return to the White House. The newspaper and other US media have declared the former president the presumed winner in the swing states of North Carolina and Georgia, adding that he is leading in another five – Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Trump is expected to address his supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida. Meanwhile, the Harris campaign has announced that the Democrat will not address her supporters at Howard University. A senior aide, however, told CNN that the candidate is still “very likely” to speak in Washington, DC.  
Harris was a late entrant to the race, securing the Democratic nomination after President Joe Biden ended his campaign in July following a disastrous debate performance against Trump, in which he appeared confused and struggled to finish sentences.Harris was a late entrant to the race, securing the Democratic nomination after President Joe Biden ended his campaign in July following a disastrous debate performance against Trump, in which he appeared confused and struggled to finish sentences.
US presidential elections are decided by the Electoral College system, meaning that a candidate who loses the popular vote can still win the contest overall. Either Trump or Harris must secure 270 out of the 538 electoral college votes to win the presidency, with each state allocated a certain number of votes based on the number of its senators and representatives in Congress.US presidential elections are decided by the Electoral College system, meaning that a candidate who loses the popular vote can still win the contest overall.
