New York, Nov 6 (UNI) Donald Trump is expected to speak in Florida shortly after winning two key swing states of North Carolina and Georgia.
The US presidential election is far from decided, but the playing field appears to be steadily tilting toward Donald Trump, BBC reported.
Republicans are projected to win control of the Senate back from Democrats after flipping a string of crucial seats. The Republicans are projected to win 51 seats in the Senate, and gain majority.
Voters in Florida narrowly rejected a measure to overturn its six-week abortion ban.
In Pennsylvania, with 94 pc of the votes counted, Trump is ahead of Kamala Harris.
CNN has projected Trump to win the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
There are 19 electoral votes at stake in Pennsylvania. It takes at least 270 electoral votes to win the 2024 presidential election.
President Joe Biden, a native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, flipped the state in 2020, winning by just over 80,000 votes. In 2016, Trump became the first Republican to win Pennsylvania since George H.W. Bush in 1988, carrying the state by just over 44,000 votes.
Pennsylvania is the most important battleground state of the 2024 election. Harris and Trump have made the commonwealth’s electoral votes central to their respective paths to victory.
Trump has taken Texas, Florida and much of the Southeast, while Harris has won California, New York and much of the Northeast.
Harris, the 60-year-old Democratic Vice-President, is vying to become the first woman and South-Asian American elected to the White House.
She ran on promises of a child tax credit, expanded subsidies for health insurance, controlling costs of housing and prescription drugs, and subsidies for manufacturing companies.
Trump, the 78-year-old Republican former president, is hoping to return to office on promises to round up and deport undocumented immigrants.
In Washington, authorities prepared for unrest, installing anti-riot fencing around the White House, the Capitol and the Vice-President’s official residence. Both campaigns’ election-night headquarters – Howard University in the U.S. capital for the Democrats and a convention centre in West Palm Beach, Fla., for the GOP – were similarly fortified.
