Key States Won:

  • Donald Trump:

    • Georgia: Trump won the key swing state of Georgia, flipping a state that voted for Democratic in 2020
    • North Carolina: Trump held off Harris’s efforts to flip the state, securing a crucial win.
    • Florida: The state, which had shifted right in recent elections, continued to favor the Republican Party.
    • Texas: Trump maintained control of the traditionally red state.
    • South Carolina: A solid victory for the GOP in this reliably Republican state.
    • Indiana: Trump clinched another win in this deep red state.
    • Ohio: Republican-backed Bernie Moreno flipped a seat from Democrat Sherrod Brown.
  • Kamala Harris:

    • California: Harris won her home state in a decisive victory.
    • Virginia: A stronghold for Democrats, where Harris secured a win.
    • New York: The Democratic nominee maintained control in the state.
    • New Mexico: Another win for Harris in a state that has consistently supported Democrats.
    • Colorado: The state, a bellwether for Democrats, went to Harris.
    • Maryland: Voters here approved measures in support of abortion rights, continuing their blue state trend.

Trump’s path to victory remained reliant on securing states like Georgia, Florida and North Carolina, while also keeping hold of traditionally Republican strongholds. He continued to build on his momentum from states that have shifted increasingly to the right, as voters rallied around issues like inflation and immigration.

Harris, however, found strong support in key Democratic regions, with a significant showing in California and Virginia. She also managed to hold onto the "blue wall" in states like New York and New Mexico, which have been vital to the Democratic path to victory. However, her campaign faced challenges as Black and Latino voters appeared slightly less likely to back her than they did for Joe Biden in 2020, and Trump’s support among these groups showed signs of growth.

The fate of a few crucial battleground states remains uncertain, and with both sides preparing for a potential legal battle over close results, it’s unclear when a victor will be declared. As the race continues to tighten, Election Day may extend into a drawn-out process to count votes, particularly in states with large numbers of mail-in ballots.

Both candidates have kept their campaigns active as they await final results. Trump expressed cautious optimism, while Harris kept her focus on rallying her base, visiting Democratic National Committee headquarters with a box of Doritos in hand, symbolizing her campaign’s light-hearted spirit amidst the intensity of the race.

With millions of votes yet to be counted, and the race still too close to call in many states, the 2024 election promises to be one of the most dramatic and uncertain in recent US history. The nation is on edge as voters await the final results of this high-stakes battle for the White House.
