The presidential race remains too close to call in seven key swing states as vote counting continues across the country.
Polls are closed in all seven battlegrounds: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada. These states will determine the outcome of the presidential race.
As of 10:15 p.m. Eastern, former President Donald Trump holds a lead in most of the swing states reporting vote totals. In Georgia, Trump leads 52% to 47%, with 80% of votes counted. Trump also leads in North Carolina, 52% to 47% with 65% of the vote counted; in Pennsylvania, 50% to 49%, with 50%.
Wisconsin is virtually tied, 49%-49%, with 44% of results in.
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight lead in Michigan, 50% to 48%, with 18% counted.
National media outlets are projecting Trump has already secured 205 electoral votes by winning in Ohio, Texas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Montana, Nebraska, Louisiana, Wyoming, Arkansas, Indiana, West Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma and Kentucky.
Harris has secured 117 electoral votes by winning in Colorado, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, Vermont, Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island.
None of the called races are surprises.
One surprise could be in Virginia, where polling showed Harris with the advantage. With 61% of the vote counted Tuesday night, Trump holds a 50% to 48% lead.
As The Center Square reported Monday, Trump and Harris are virtually tied nationally, according to Real Clear Politics’ polling average. More than 150 million Americans are expected to cast ballots this election.
Among the swing states that will decide the outcome, RCP had Trump leading Arizona by 2.5 points, Georgia by 1.9 points, Nevada by 1 point, North Carolina by 1.5 points, and Pennsylvania by 0.3 points.
In the same averaging of recent polls, Harris led Michigan by 1.2 points and Wisconsin by 0.4 points.
It remains to be seen if voters will know a winner by Wednesday morning.
