Rabat – It may be the middle of the night in Morocco but the evening is still getting started in Washington DC on the biggest night for America’s race to the 2024 presidency.
Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in an election that is promising a final win by an incredibly narrow margin.
State projected victories are quickly coming in as polls close throughout the country, but the key results to look out for are the swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona.
Many of these crucial battle ground states have already closed their polls, but the final results have yet to be released.
Here is the run-down of the numbers we know so far, according to projections from NBC and Associated Press.
Electoral College tallies:
Democrats: 62
Republicans: 168
A reminder, the candidate will need a total of 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Although it may look like Trump is projected to win by a landslide for electoral votes, the reality is not so simple. Many of the “blue wall” states on the West Coast will not be called until later, and Harris is still banking on winning states in the Great Lakes region as well as Northeastern US.
The blue wall is a term that refers to the 18 US states as well as the District of Columbia that the Democrats have historically always won in each presidential election from 1992 to 2012.
Here are some of the state projections that have been made:
Trump: South Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Wyoming, Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, South Dakota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Arkansas
Harris: Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New York, Illinois, Delaware, New Jersey
Only time will tell who will come out victorious in the final race for the 2024 US Presidential Election.
