**Washington, D.C. -** The US Presidential election is underway, with votes being tallied following the conclusion of polling. The race is close, with Republican candidate Donald Trump currently holding a lead over Democratic challenger Kamala Harris.
Trump has secured 210 electoral votes, winning 22 states, and capturing 52.5% of the popular vote. Harris has secured 113 electoral votes, winning 11 states, and garnering 46.3% of the popular vote. To win the presidency, a candidate needs to secure 270 electoral votes.
The election remains extremely tight, with key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin still too close to call. These states are crucial in determining the outcome of the election as their electoral votes could tip the balance in either direction.
While Trump holds a slight lead in the electoral vote count, the race remains uncertain with several states yet to declare a winner. The Democratic Party’s strongholds, including California, Washington, and Hawaii, are still actively counting votes.
The outcome of the election hinges on the results of the remaining states, and the next few hours are critical in determining the next President of the United States.
