The U.

S. election remains intensely close as Americans turned out in record numbers for one of the most significant races in history, with early results showing Donald Trump in a strong position. In a major boost, Trump captured critical battleground states like North Carolina and Georgia, alongside other important wins in Texas, Florida, and Iowa. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris secured key Democratic states, including California and Colorado.

As the vote count unfolded, betting markets surged in Trump’s favor, with the New York Times predicting a 95 percent chance of a Republican victory. However, with several states still counting ballots, Harris’s campaign remains hopeful for a late turn.

With every update from battleground states, tensions are high, and the final outcome could still shift depending on pending results in swing regions. As the night progresses, Americans are on edge, waiting to see if the lead will hold or if Harris can make a comeback.
