Americans are deciding today who their next President will be. The race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is tight, with the outcome expected to be determined by seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The candidate who secures the majority 270 electoral votes will become the next US President.
Although the official declaration of the next president might take some time, exit polls will provide an early indication of public sentiment in the meantime.
Indiana and Kentucky Projections Put Trump in the Lead
Projections from the two red states, Kentucky (8 electoral votes) and Indiana (11 electoral votes), have put Trump ahead of Harris. Meanwhile, Vermont, with 3 electoral votes, is projected to favour the Democrats.
