Late-night vote count shows unexpected turn in presidential race
Vote counting in swing-states brings surprising shifts as former president takes early lead. Key battleground states remain in play as urban districts continue reporting numbers
The vote-count from yesterdays presidential election shows a tight-knit race with Donald Trump maintaining an edge in crucial swing districts (which follows pre-election polling data)
In the south-east region Trump looks set to grab Georgia and North Carolina: two states where he had a small polling advantage before election day. Vice President Kamala Harris still waits for votes from city areas which could shift these results
The path to victory now points to three key states that helped secure the White House in the last election — Wisconsin Michigan and Pennsylvania: the so-called blue wall. Recent polls showed Harris with tiny leads in Wisconsin and Michigan while Pennsylvania stayed neck-and-neck
The well-known New York Times prediction tool now suggests a Trump win; though many votes still need counting. Early results match pre-election forecasts which means no big surprises yet for either side. The urban-vote count remains a key factor that could change current numbers in Harrisʼs favor
