As of November 6, 2024, the results of the U.S. presidential election are not official, but it is clear that Republican candidate Donald Trump has won a decisive victory. While ballots are still being tallied, key swing states have gone in Trump’s favor, and he has a lead in both the electoral and popular votes.

Election night results began to roll in on the East Coast, where the results quickly reflected the expected outcomes. As anticipated, states like Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina leaned heavily toward Trump, who won these traditionally conservative regions. On the flip side, Democratic strongholds such as New York, Maryland, and Massachusetts were quickly called for Harris.

However, the real story of this election lies in the swing states—regions that were key to determining the overall outcome. Among the most closely watched battlegrounds were Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia. In a stunning turn of events, all of these states that were seen as toss-ups have gone red, swinging the electoral vote firmly in Trump’s direction. This result was a surprise to many who had anticipated a much closer race.

These swing states proved to be the ultimate deciding factor in the election. Trump’s victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, in particular, essentially sealed his win.

Trump has also been winning the popular vote. Throughout the evening, he maintained a steady lead over Harris, with a margin of approximately 4 million votes. As of now, with the vast majority of votes counted, Trump’s victory appears inevitable, though official results are still pending.
