TL/DR –
The presidential race remains too close to call on Tuesday night, and it is expected that results in key swing states may not be available until Wednesday or Thursday. Currently, Donald Trump holds 230 electoral votes and Kamala Harris has 205, both numbers are short of the necessary 270 needed to win the presidency. Harris’s campaign is focusing on Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as potential paths to victory, and results from Arizona and Nevada, both heavy vote-by-mail states, are also still pending.
Delay in election results expected from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.
The presidential race remains undetermined due to millions of votes still being counted in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin- the crucial swing states.
Record voter turnout across the nation potentially exceeds 2020 figures, with final counts pending.
Current standings show Donald Trump with 230 electoral votes against Kamala Harris’s 205, both short of the 270 necessary for victory.
Harris’s campaign emphasizes their potential strength in the “Blue Wall” states- Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They anticipate high turnout in Philadelphia, Detroit, and Milwaukee may swing the election in their favor. However, these results might not be available until Wednesday or later.
As Arizona and Nevada are predominantly mail-in voting states, their results are also expected to delay till Wednesday or Thursday. Current data shows a neck-and-neck race in Arizona with 53% votes counted, while Nevada is yet to report.
Election trends this cycle fluctuate due to early results from Republican-leaning rural counties, which traditionally report earlier.
Among the 8 swing states, only North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes have been called for Donald Trump so far.
