Trump edges closer to victory with lead in Pennsylvania, Republicans celebrate
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.

US Election Results 2024: Donald Trump claims election victory, says God spared my life for a reason
Washington DC: Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is on the verge of a landslide victory in the 2024 US election, as he leads with 267 electoral college votes, just three short of the required 270 to secure the presidency. In a triumphant speech, the 78-year-old thanked his supporters, calling the win a "magnificent victory for the American people."
Trump, who survived an assassination attempt earlier this year, remarked, "God spared my life for a reason," attributing his survival to this political moment. He described the Republican campaign as the "greatest political movement of all time," vowing to "help the country heal" and address key issues like border security.
Kamala Harris, the incumbent Vice President and Trump’s main opponent, currently trails with 214 electoral votes. Trump's victory has been bolstered by Republican success in battleground states, flipping seven swing states that had largely supported Democrats in 2020. So far, Trump has secured Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, while leading in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada.
In addition to the presidency, Republicans are also on course to secure control of the Senate and are leading in the race for the House of Representatives, further cementing the party's dominance in the US political landscape.
Trump concluded his speech by thanking his running mate JD Vance, his family, and high-profile supporters like Elon Musk for their backing during the challenging campaign.
