America is preparing for a significant change. With a clear victory in his favor, Donald Trump seems ready to return to the White House, consolidating his influence on Congress thanks to a triumph that has involved every corner of the country. The data updated at 15:30 Italian time reveal the details of the recent presidential elections.
Donald Trump has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote in 20 years. The last time that happened was in 2004, when George W. Bush received 62,040,610 votes to John Kerry’s 59,028,444. Currently, with 51% of the popular vote and 71,342,200 votes cast, Trump leads Kamala Harris, who stands at 47.4% with 66,249,505 votes. In 2020, the vote total exceeded 155 million, with Joe Biden receiving 81,283,501 votes and Trump 74,223,975.
Although some states like Arizona, Michigan and Nevada are still in the balance, Trump has already won 276 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris stops at 223. The former president won in 27 states, compared to 18 for the Democratic candidate, with five states still up for grabs.
In the 100-seat Senate, Republicans currently hold 52 seats, compared to Democrats’ 42. In the House of Representatives, Republicans have the edge with 204 seats, while Democrats have 182, for a majority of 218 out of a total of 435. In the gubernatorial races in eleven states, Republicans have won eight times and Democrats have won three. Significant victories for the Grand Old Party include Montana, Utah, and Vermont.
The abortion issue played a central role in the election, with measures on 10 ballots in 10 states. In six of them, voters approved measures to protect or expand abortion rights. However, Florida did not have a quorum for a referendum on the issue.
The situation in Missouri appears to favor an amendment to overturn the near-total ban on abortion, supported by a majority of voters who backed Trump. With these emerging political dynamics, America is preparing for an uncertain but potentially transformative future under the guidance of Trump’s Republican leadership.
