According to Fox News forecasts, Donald Trump has 277 electoral votes, which exceeds the 270 vote threshold needed to win the US presidential election. Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, in turn, has 226 electoral votes, but the final results still depend on several swing states. It is worth noting that Fox News is a Republican resource, which raises some doubts about the objectivity of their forecasts.
Decision Desk HQ also predicts Trump's victory in the presidential race. The bookmaker Polymarket increased the probability of his victory to 98%, and The New York Times adjusted its forecasts, increasing Trump's chances of winning from 92% to 95%. The Hill newspaper has already declared Trump the winner, predicting that the Republican will receive the necessary 270 votes. Moreover, the Republicans are leading in the elections to the Senate and the House of Representatives, which can significantly strengthen the party's position at all levels of government.
Particular attention is focused on Pennsylvania, where every vote is literally at stake. According to NBC, Trump is leading by a small margin in this key swing state after 94% of the ballots have been counted. If the Republican secures his victory in Pennsylvania, Harris’ chances of getting the necessary 270 electoral votes will be virtually nonexistent and Trump will be declared the winner of the presidential race.
Experts and analysts continue to monitor the vote count and changes in forecasts, noting that the outcome of the election may still depend on the remaining ballots to be counted in key states.
