Former President Donald Trump has gained 266 electoral votes, four short of the 270 needed to win the presidency. In a speech in Florida on Tuesday morning, Trump thanked his supporters and promised to fix America’s borders and promote economic growth.
The Republican Party is projected to control the US Senate, with CNN predicting a majority win. This shift in power could impact Washington politics, particularly for Democrats who may face increased opposition.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ path to 270 electoral votes narrowed after Trump picked up several battleground states, including North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Despite these gains, the Biden campaign remains committed to counting every vote.
Harris is expected to address supporters later today, acknowledging that some votes have yet to be counted. The outcome of the election is still uncertain, but with 266 electoral votes, Trump appears poised for a narrow victory.
