US Elections: An Result in the Making

The night of the American elections is shaping up to be an epic battle between the two main candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. With polls closed in 26 states, the eyes of the world are on the swing states, crucial to determining the future of American politics. While in Italy it is 1 a.m. and the counting begins, the first projections reveal a complex and uncertain picture.

Situation in Key States

In Georgia, Trump currently has a 55% lead, while Harris is leading in North Carolina, although few ballots have been counted. Pennsylvania emerges as the primary battleground, where the race is tight and every vote counts. Early counts show Harris ahead, but that could change quickly.

Attention is focused on the seven swing states, which have 93 electoral votes up for grabs, essential to reach the 270 vote threshold needed to enter the White House.

Projections and Expected Results

The major American networks have started publishing their projections. Kentucky, with its eight electors, has been awarded to Trump as expected. At the same time, Harris has won Vermont with three electors. The victories continue with Trump also winning Indiana (11 electors) and West Virginia (4 electors). On the other hand, Harris obtains significant successes in Maryland (10), Connecticut (7), District of Columbia (3), Massachusetts (11), Illinois (19), New Jersey (14) and Delaware (3). Trump instead triumphed in Mississippi (6), Alabama (9), Oklahoma (7), Tennessee (11), Missouri (10), South Carolina (9), Arkansas (6) and Florida, which represents a significant haul of 30 electors.

A Look to the Future

As the count continues and the results are released, American voters are anxiously awaiting the final outcome. The race between Trump and Harris is not just a numbers game; it also represents their differing visions for the future of the United States. As the numbers continue to emerge, tensions are growing over the possibility of a decisive victory that could redefine the national political landscape.
