Amid the counting of votes that is going on in America for the next President of US, Fox News has made a major projection. The Fox News has projected Donald Trump as the next President with 277 seats. As per Fox News, Trump defeated his rival Kamala as the latter gained only 226 electoral votes.
Kamala Harris is now lagging behind again in the US election. In the trends of the Electoral College, she is stuck at 210 seats. At the same time, Donald Trump has taken a lead of 247 seats. Now Donald Trump needs only 23 seats to reach the magic number.
Donald Trump is moving fast towards the chair of President in America. Trump is continuously moving towards victory. He is leading on 246 seats whereas Kamala Harris is leading on 210 seats.
According to the Associated Press, the Republican Party has gained a majority in the Senate after gaining seats in Ohio and West Virginia and the victory of its candidates in Texas and Nebraska. This is the first time in four years that Republicans will control the upper house of Congress. If Donald Trump wins the presidential election, he will have the right to confirm Supreme Court judges, federal judges and cabinet appointments.
The results of the presidential election in America started coming on Tuesday 5 November. In the initial trends, Donald Trump of the Republican Party is leading on more than 198 seats. At the same time, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party is leading on 109 seats. However, these are initial trends and it has been seen before that as the counting of votes progresses, the trends also change.
In 2020 also it was seen that in the initial trends, Donald Trump had taken a big lead, but by the time the counting of votes was completed, Joe Biden had overtaken Trump and won. In such a situation, it would be a bit hasty to reach any conclusion looking at the initial trends.
Let us tell you that Donald Trump and Indian-origin Kamala Harris are in the fray for the 47th presidential election of America. JD Vance is in the fray for the post of Vice President from the Republican Party. The Democratic Party has made Tim Walz the candidate. Kamala Harris is currently the Vice President of America. While Trump has been the President before Joe Biden.
Exit poll results have also started coming in simultaneously. It may take a day or two for the final results to come out. There are a total of 538 electoral votes i.e. seats in the 50 states of America and the capital Washington DC. There are a total of 7 swing states in this election. That is, these can turn the tables in anyone’s favor at any time. There are 93 seats in these 7 swing states alone. To win the election, Trump or Kamala need to win 270 seats. In this election, about 8.2 crore i.e. 40% of voters have already voted through postal voting.
There is a tough competition between Donald Trump of the Republican Party and Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party for the post of President. If Kamala wins, then for the first time in the history of 230 years, a woman will become the President.
On the other hand, if Trump wins, he will return to the White House after 4 years. Kamala Harris is currently the Vice President of America, while Trump has been the President from 2017 to 2021.
