US Presidential Election 2024: Trump Pulls Ahead in a Tight Race, Defying Early Poll Predictions
The 2024 US Presidential Election has become a highly competitive race, with vote counting in full swing. Former President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are in a tight battle for the White House. While early exit polls had Kamala Harris leading, recent trends show Trump gaining momentum and taking the lead.
Trump Takes the Lead Despite Initial Harris Advantage
Early predictions suggested Kamala Harris was ahead, but as vote counts progress, Trump has overtaken her with 51.1% of the vote, while Harris currently stands at 47.5%. Trump has already crossed the critical 200-electoral vote mark, while Harris trails but is gradually closing the gap. To win, a candidate must secure 270 electoral college votes.
Key Swing States Hold the Final Verdict
With Trump currently holding 230 electoral votes and Harris 210, the final outcome largely depends on key swing states. States like Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin are yet to conclude their counts. These “swing states” have the power to shift the election results, making it anyone’s race.
Kamala Harris Wins in Washington, Race Remains Too Close to Call
According to the latest AP reports, Kamala Harris has claimed victory in Washington, yet Trump maintains a broader lead overall. As the competition intensifies, both candidates are vying for every vote in swing regions. The world is watching as the US approaches the final phase of determining its 47th President, keeping all eyes on the potential for a last-minute change in the race’s dynamics.
