Donald Trump gained successes in several states that have a conservative tilt; Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and Alabama. The Democratic nominee Kamala Harris said victories in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maryland after voting ended in the first states with crucial battlegrounds.
Trump’s win in Indiana, a reliably Republican state, was confirmed at 7:00 p.m. EST, and thus gaining 11 electoral votes. He also cornered Kentucky vote on the eight Electoral votes. Importantly, even Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell endorsed Trump, which is quite signing given the change of tone after January 6 Capitol rioting. They have worked together in the past to produce such politically right-wing results as tax reform and court appointments.
Also, what has been a Democratic state – Vermont in this case – was won by Harris. Republican Governor Phil Scott was a vocal Trump critic and voted for Joe Biden, which captured Vermont’s political split.
Close Most of the States That Are Up for Grabs
When the polls are closing, the focuses shifted to the seven key swing states; Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. When it comes to their decision, more than a third of voters said democracy and economic matters remained the biggest precursors to their choice, while 73 percent said they thought democracy was under threat. In the beginning, Georgia had to struggle with fake bomb threats that temporarily stopped the voting as secretary Brad Raffensperger assured he would stop intimidations. Agents of the FBI associated the threats with Russian email domains, while Trump encouraged people to vote on for him.
Harris had boosted impressive turn out among the Puerto Rican counties of Pennsylvania following horrific statements made at a Trump rally. As for the Republicans, they demonstrated high activity in Florida where the first result should appear.
Legal Issues and Risk Factor
In closely fought contests, both contenders expect court cases; Trump reawakens his vote fraud allegations, especially in Philadelphia and Detroit, albeit falsely. Harris claiming to be a champion of democracy in the country warned citizens against the next four years of Trump’s presidency.
Effects on Seat of Congress and State Elections
I’m so sorry It looks like there are important congressional elections taking place. Bernie Sanders in Vermont was re-elected while Jim Justice who is a Republican defeated the incumbent, Joe Manchin, a democrat, in West Virginia. Democrat Josh Stein win North Carolina’s governor’s race while Republican Mark Robinson lost the election.
Such results will define the future standing of POLs and policies across several areas including immigration and taxes by the narrow EM margins that will define the swing states.
