Donald Trump is Sure of a ‘Big Victory’
The 2024 election day in the United States is underway with intense citizen participation as the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains in a technical tie, with polls indicating that the final decision could depend on voters in key states. This Tuesday, in addition to the presidential election, control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is also at stake.
Throughout the day, reports indicate that voting has proceeded smoothly, despite the tension generated by the tight polls dominating media headlines. So far, more than 80 million Americans have cast their votes, either by mail or in person, and the lines at many polling places have been organized and busy.
The latest polls reflect an almost absolute tie between Harris and Trump, with a difference of less than one percentage point, within the margin of error. Analysts emphasize that swing states, such as Pennsylvania, are crucial and fall within ranges considered normal for error.
The presidential contest could be defined in seven key states: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. In the 2020 elections, Trump managed to win only one of these states, North Carolina, which led to his loss against Joe Biden.
According to forecasts from RealClearPolitics, Trump has an advantage in several of these swing states. As of November 5th, it is reported that the former president leads Harris in Arizona by 2.8 percentage points, in Georgia by 1.3 points, in North Carolina by 1.2 points, in Nevada by 0.6 points, and in Pennsylvania by 0.4 points. On the other hand, Harris maintains a slight lead in Michigan (0.5 points) and Wisconsin (0.4 points).
If the projections from RealClearPolitics materialize, Trump could be on track for victory in this presidential election. To secure his win, each candidate needs to obtain at least 270 electoral votes, the magic number required to access the White House.
