Republican candidate Donald Trump is leading in the US presidential election on Tuesday, though the result remained unclear in battleground states that will decide the winner. Vice President Kamala Harris’s victory may be narrowing but the race remains close.
Trump won 211 Electoral College votes compared with 145 for his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, with a third of the vote counted.
By winning North Carolina, Trump could reach the 270 electoral vote threshold by carrying Georgia and Pennsylvania or by carrying Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, AP reported. Vice President Kamala Harris won Virginia, adding 13 electoral votes to her tally.
Harris’ victory marks the third time Donald Trump has lost the Old Dominion state.
Trump won 45% of Hispanic voters nationwide, trailing Harris with 53% but up 13 percentage points from 2020, according to the provisional exit polls.
AP’s preliminary findings based on its VoteCast data reveal a few shifts towards Trump among typically Democratic-supporting demographics, which may be key if he does win the presidency.
