On election night, Donald Trump is emerging as the possible frontrunner in the race for the White House. According to estimates by the New York Times, the former Republican president currently has a more than 80% chance of winning against Kamala Harris. This projection is based on a model that analyzes real-time data, considering polls and counted vote results. The forecast indicates 293 electoral votes for Trump and 245 for Harris, with the vice president having the slightest consolation of winning the popular vote by a margin of 0.4%.
The focus of the electoral race is particularly intense on Pennsylvania, where the two candidates are involved in a tight head-to-head. In Virginia, a traditional Democratic state, Trump currently appears to be ahead, contrary to the result in 2020 in which Biden won by a margin of 10 percentage points. In Michigan, another crucial “blue wall” state, Harris appears to be prevailing with 54.8% of the vote against Trump’s 43.3%, even though only 8% of the votes have been counted. Wisconsin continues to present itself as a swing state, with a tight battle between the two candidates. Finally, the situation is “too early to call” for Nevada, one of the key states that could decide the fate of the election with its 93 electoral votes.
In addition to the presidential race, there are other important political dynamics. In Florida, the referendum on abortion saw a significant defeat for opponents of the ban after six weeks; “Amendment 4” did not reach the necessary quorum of 60%. This represents a victory for Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. Additionally, a Republican majority is expected in the Senate with Tim Sheehy running to defeat Jon Tester in Montana. If Republicans can hold on to their current seats, they could further consolidate their political influence. Looking ahead, this election will not only determine the political future of the United States but could also redefine alliances and strategies within the parties themselves. The tension is palpable as voters await the final outcome.
