Kentucky, a state that has historically voted for the Republican candidate, did not disappoint Donald Trump, who secured all 8 electoral votes. The same occurred in Indiana, which awarded its 11 electoral votes to the former president.

Kamala Harris has, so far, secured the state of Vermont, which provides 3 electoral votes.

As of 7:35 p.m., the results showed 23 votes for Trump, counting Montana's 4 electoral votes, and 3 for Harris.

According to reports, voting will close between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. in most states, while in the key "swing" states crucial for the elections leading to the White House, it will conclude between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

These entities are Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

It is important to remember that, to achieve victory, the preferences of 270 delegates are needed to make up the Electoral College, out of a total of 538 representatives.
