New Delhi: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is inching towards a second term after securing projected wins in 26 states, totalling 266 electoral votes. His Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, trails with 214 electoral votes as key battleground states remain undecided.
Trump has flipped critical states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, boosting his chances of reclaiming the White House. With 270 electoral votes required to win, Harris faces an uphill battle, with results still pending in swing states such as Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona.
While Trump’s camp celebrates in Palm Beach, Harris’s supporters at Howard University began to leave after hearing that she would not be making a speech as her path to victory narrows.
With Republicans also gaining ground in Senate races, including flipping seats in Ohio and West Virginia, both Congress chambers are up for grabs, adding to the high-stakes atmosphere of the election.
Trump has maintained a slim lead in Arizona and has pulled ahead in Michigan and Nevada, while Harris claimed wins in states like California and New York. The final outcome may hinge on these remaining states, with results expected to take days if the race remains tight.

New Delhi (PTI): Coming down heavily on the Uttar Pradesh authorities for its "high-handed" approach, the Supreme Court on Wednesday directed it to compensate a man, whose house was razed in 2019 for road widening, with Rs 25 lakh.
A bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra further asked the UP chief secretary to conduct an inquiry into the matter pertaining to the illegal demolition in Maharajganj district.
"You can't come with bulldozer and demolish the house overnight," remarked the bench, which was hearing the matter pertaining to demolition, which took place in 2019 for the road widening project.
