Donald Trump is just one step away from winning the presidential election in the United States, having secured his victory over Kamala Harris in several key states that backed then-President Joe Biden in 2020.
In an election characterized by competition in the so-called swing states, Trump has won in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, securing a total of 267 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to claim the presidency.
With the results still pending in Wisconsin (where, according to Politico, he is already projected to have won), Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, the scenario appears to favor the former president, who has focused his campaign on reaffirming his influence in the so-called "Rust Belt" and in traditionally competitive states in the South.
At a nighttime celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump thanked his supporters and promised to "fix everything that is wrong in this country," underscoring the significance of his potential return to the White House for the Republican agenda.
The situation in the swing states —Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada— remains under scrutiny, but projections suggest that Trump's lead in some of these regions could solidify, potentially tipping the balance in his favor.
These states have a history of determining presidential elections in the United States due to their distribution of votes and the fluctuation of their preferences between Democrats and Republicans in each cycle.
In this contest, both Trump and Harris have significantly invested in campaigns focused on these regions.
The Republicans focused their efforts in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, securing crucial support in these areas and hindering Harris's progress in her quest to maintain Democratic control of the presidency.
The final outcome will depend on the few remaining states where the margin is close, but the advantage gained in the South and the "Rust Belt" puts Trump on the brink of victory.
If the current results are sustained in the four remaining states, Trump will secure his return to the presidency with a majority in the Electoral College, marking a significant shift in American politics.
