As the 2024 US presidential election progresses, early results show Donald Trump with a lead over Kamala Harris, according to recent polls.
However, the outcome remains uncertain with several critical states still highly competitive.
AFRIPOST gathered that battleground states shaping the election include Pennsylvania, a pivotal state up for grabs, with both candidates fighting hard to gain an edge.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, with polling figures neck and neck, it is a must-win for both campaigns. In Georgia, Democrats are hoping to secure a win in the traditionally Republican state, with close polling numbers providing an opening.
However, sources report that the state of Wisconsin remains a midwest battleground that could have a major impact on the election’s outcome.
Political and election spectators have also revealed that although Trump won Michigan in 2016, polls indicate a tight race, suggesting a tough battle for both candidates.
In the meantime, the electoral map currently appears favourable for Trump, with a few key states leaning towards him. Still, the race is far from over, and shifts in voter turnout or last-minute swings could influence results.
