  • United States

The U.S. presidential race is heating up as Kamala Harris reportedly claims victory in Vermont, Delaware, and New Jersey. According to the Associated Press, Harris stands strong in these Democratic strongholds. Meanwhile, Trump remains a formidable opponent, with his eye set on retaining his influence in crucial swing states.

The election landscape is characterized by 538 electoral college votes, with candidates vying for dominance primarily in battleground territories. While many states consistently align with the same party, the swing states are pivotal in determining the outcome. As the Rust Belt—Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin—holds its sway, political analysts consider its impact crucial for Harris's potential victory.

In addition to the Rust Belt, the Sun Belt states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina play a crucial role in the race. Even if Trump secures the Sun Belt, the Rust Belt appears as a key decider. If Harris wins, her victory would be historic, marking the first female presidency and the first Black and South Asian U.S. president.
