US polls: Donald Trump takes early lead, Kamala Harris faces tough task

| @indiablooms | 06 Nov 2024, 08:57 am

The counting of votes for the American Presidential polls is currently ongoing with former President Donald Trump making early gains over her Democratic opponent Kamala Harris.

As per US media reports that show the trend of electoral colleges, Trump is ahead with 172 votes while Kamala Harris is trailing with 81.

The candidates need to touch the magic figure of 270 electoral votes.

The seven swing states namely Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin are expected to decide the next President of the country.

Voting to elect a new President took place on Tuesday.

As per CBS news update, Trump is projected to win key regions like Mississippi, Montana, Utah and Louisiana.

CBS projects that Harris will clinch seats in Rhode Island, Illinois, and New York.

The election is projected to create history with Kamala Harris eyeing to become the first woman President of the nation.

Trump is gearing up to return for the second term.

Americans voted in large numbers on Tuesday to decide who between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris would occupy the White House next four years, in one of the most hard-fought polls.

Speaking to reporters outside a voting facility in West Palm Beach, Trump said he ran a "great campaign" against his rival Kamala Harris, a Democrat wild card entrant in the elections after Joe Biden decided to opt out after stumbling in his debate with Trump.

"If I lose an election, if it's a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it. So far I think it's been fair," Trump was quoted as saying by AFP.

Although voting ends Tuesday, the winner may not be known for days if the margins in the key states continue to remain slim as predicted.
