US Polls 2024: Donald Trump Wins Pennsylvania That Holds Key to White House

Washington: With 19 electoral votes, Donald Trump emerged victorious in Pennsylvania, the biggest wing states in the country.

As of now, Trump is emerging as a strong winner in the early trends. As per the latest projections, 78-year-old Republican candidate Trump won North Carolina and Georgia is currently leading Harris in several key states, including Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, although his lead is narrow, according to the latest projections as of 11:15 am IST.

Donald Trump wins North Carolina, first of 7 swing seats

Former President Donald Trump won the battleground state of North Carolina on Tuesday. Trump receives the state’s 16 electoral votes after defeating Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Trump also won the state in 2016 and 2020, but Democrats had been optimistic they could reverse previous outcomes with campaign spending, canvassing and Harris rallies. They also tried to link Trump to embattled Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson. But Trump and running mate JD Vance visited North Carolina often during the fall campaign, pushing a more protectionist economic agenda and promises to crack down on illegal immigration and the southern border. 

Donald Trump Wins Georgia - Second Swing State

After securing North Carolina, Donald Trump has won his second swing state, Georgia, making it the first state to flip from the 2020 election results. In the previous election, Trump lost Georgia to Democrat Joe Biden by 11,779 votes—a figure that gained attention after Trump urged Georgia election officials to help him secure just enough votes to surpass Biden. He was later indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

Trump's Big Win in Wisconsin

As results unfolded for the historic US Presidential elections, Donald Trump maintained a significant lead in all the crucial swing states. Meanwhile, the polling is currently underway in several states across the country. However, the most crucial seats to decide the fate of Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris would be the seven swing states.
