Trump has 248 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House. Trump is leading in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
late vote updates are being awaited from Michigan’s Wayne County and Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County, two Democratic strongholds that present Harris’ only path to win either state. In Pennsylvania, her path is even more narrow. However, Donald Trump is projected to win the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, putting him on the cusp of winning the US election.
The Republican candidate earlier secured the battleground states of North Carolina and Georgia, narrowing Joe Biden’s path to victory.
A return to the White House would mark an extraordinary comeback for Trump after his loss to Biden in 2020.
Trump is expected to address jubilant supporters in Florida, while Biden has no plans to speak today as his dejected supporters left the watch party earlier.
