US Elections Results: After a bitter election campaign, US voters will either make Democratic Kamala Harris the first woman president in the country's history or deliver Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump a second non-consecutive stint in the Oval office.
Counting has begun for the US elections; US networks have projected that Donald Trump is winning 23 states and Kamala Harris 11. As for electoral college numbers, which will determine the winner in this election, the former President is ahead with 267 votes and Harris trails with 214. Each candidate is aiming for the magic figure of 270 electoral college votes.
As far as swing states are concerned, Trump is leading on six of the seven battleground states.
Donald Trump said he would be prepared to concede defeat after Tuesday's vote "if it's a fair election", while again raising concerns about the use of electronic voting machines. Trump, however, said he feels "very confident" about winning back the White House, after casting his Election Day ballot in Florida in one of the most contentious US elections in decades.

US Election Results: Opinion | Harris vs Trump: The Unbearable Absurdity Of US Presidential Polls
Both Trump and Harris have demonstrated an utter inability to learn from the past.

This election has been the most extensive testimony of what a lot of analysts within the US, as well as outside, have observed but have largely refrained from verbalising: both the Democrats and the Republicans fashion their electoral campaigns around the faults of the other side while doing absolutely nothing about their own.

US Election 2024: Know About The 2 Swing States Kamala Harris Is Leading From
Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris is leading in Arizona and Michigan, two of the seven swing states. Here is what you need to know about the two of the key states.
Arizona
Arizona was a nail-biter in the 2020 presidential election, with Biden securing a narrow victory of just 10,457 votes. Now, Trump is banking on voter dissatisfaction with the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies to turn the state red again. As Arizona shares a border with Mexico, immigration is a hot-button issue, and Trump hopes to capitalise on frustrations with the current administration.
Michigan
Michigan, a state with 15 electoral votes, has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, but Donald Trump's 2016 win shook things up. His appeal to white working-class voters secured his victory, dealing a surprise blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign. Fast forward to 2024, and Michigan's diversity could give Kamala Harris an edge, particularly since it's more diverse than other contested "blue wall" states. However, there is work involved when it comes to the Arab-American side of the state as they have expressed dissatisfaction with the way the war in Gaza has been handled by the Biden administration.
