Americans are deciding today who their next President will be. The race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is tight, with the outcome expected to be determined by seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The candidate who secures the majority 270 electoral votes will become the next US President.

Although the official declaration of the next president might take some time, exit polls will provide an early indication of public sentiment in the meantime.

Trump and Harris Held Their Strongholds

Many states, including Texas, Florida, Illinois, and New York, have called the results. The results from all of these states are not surprising – Trump won the Republican-dominated ones, while Harris held the Democrats’ strongholds.

Counting is also ongoing in two key swing states: Pennsylvania and Georgia. While Trump is ahead in Georgia, Harris is leading Pennsylvania. However, these trends might change by the time these two states call their results.

Projections Put Trump in the Lead

Projections from the several red states have put Trump ahead of Harris. Meanwhile, some Harris is projected to win in some strongholds of the Democrats.
