Who wins the US presidential election: NV follows the tally of the votes of American voters who elected the country’s 47th president on November 5 between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
As of 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 6, polling stations have already closed in almost the entire territory of the United States — only some stations are open until 8:00 a.m. Kyiv time.
The process of counting votes in the USA is complicated, because there is no body in the country that would announce the election results centrally (The Federal Election Commission does not have such powers and does not tamper with election results). Each state counts votes separately, the general picture is collected by American media and news agencies.
NV follows the US vote count.
Election results in the USA
06:33 The New York Times estimates Trump’s chances of victory at 88%
06:25 Trump is currently gaining 230 electoral votes, Harris — 187 votes. According to Trump, it is the first of the “shaky” states
At the same time, AR believes that Trump wins in North Carolina – the first of seven “swing” states that can have the greatest influence on the outcome of the election.
In the remaining six states (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada) it is still too early to give estimates.
05:19. Trump leads in Utah (6 electoral votes), Wyoming (3) and Missouri (10). Harris won 10 votes in Colorado and 3 in the District of Columbia.
04:22. According to AP, Trump is winning in Oklahoma (7) and Texas (40).
According to the Associated Press, as of this hour, the following states are expected to vote for Donald Trump:
- alabama (9);
- Arkansas (6);
- Florida (30);
- Indiana (11);
- kentucky (8);
- Louisiana (8);
- mississippi (6);
- North Dakota (3);
- nebraska (2);
- Oklahoma (7);
- South Carolina (9);
- South Dakota (3);
- Tennessee (11);
- West Virginia (4);
- Wyoming (3).
Kamala Harris, according to the AR forecast, has the support of the following states:
- Connecticut (7);
- Delaware (3);
- Illinois (19);
- Massachusetts (11);
- Maryland (10);
- New Jersey (14);
- New York (28);
- Rhode Island (4);
- Vermont (3).
What it takes to win
For a final victory, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump need to receive 270 Electoral College votes — that is, the support of at least 50%+1 of the electorate. The collegium consists of 538 people who represent all 50 US states in proportion to the population of each of them. Even a minimal margin of victory for a candidate in a given state means that all of that state’s electoral votes will go to him (this principle “winner takes all” applies everywhere except Maine and Nebraska, where a more proportional approach is in place). California, home to nearly 40 million people, has 54 electoral votes out of 538 this year, the most of any state.
Most of the attention is focused on “shaky” states, which will depend on the outcome of the election: this year it is Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, where the chances of Trump and Harris were estimated as almost equal.
