UPDATED: Trump leading with 266 electoral votes, Harris at 219 — US media

Date:

The race for the White House between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump remains too close to call, as polls across the United States closed late Tuesday. However, a lengthy wait for results is anticipated.

Early projections from US media outlets show Trump has secured victories in 31 states, including major battlegrounds like Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina, as well as other traditionally Republican-leaning states.

Harris has won 19 states so far, including key electoral prizes like California, New York, and the U.S. capital, Washington, D.C.

As of now, Trump has 266 electoral votes and Harris has 219.

The threshold for securing the presidency is 270 electoral votes. Analysts predict the outcome will likely hinge on a handful of key battleground states.

Below is a breakdown of the states each candidate has won, along with the corresponding number of electoral votes, according to projections from major US media outlets such as CNN, Fox News, NBC, ABC, and CBS.
