The winner must collect a total of 270 votes to win.The presidency is still too close to call however, some may say, to quote Beyonce, “America has a problem,” and others are rejoicing Trump may be in office for a second time.Currently, Harris has won Vermont, Hawaii, California, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Virginia, Washington, Oregon, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Illinois.Meanwhile, Trump took over North Dakota, South Dakota, North Carolina, Wyoming, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho, North and South Carolina, and sadly, Georgia.Photo by Isaiah Singleton/The Atlanta VoiceAmerica is still awaiting results on five swing states including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Other states include Alaska and three districts in Maine. Harris still has a chance for the White House through the northern battleground states, but she cannot lose Pennsylvania and reach 270 electoral votes.Although people are calling this a Republican win, the race is not over. As of 1:55 a.m., the Associated Press had not called the race yet. Stay tuned for official results soon or for local results, visit https://www.fultoncountyga.gov/news/2024/11/05/november-5-2024-general-election-results.The post Trump leads presidential race, Kamala Harris following closely behind appeared first on The Atlanta Voice.
