Trump's 2024 Presidential Election

Former President Donald Trump is making significant strides in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. As of election night, Trump has secured key battleground states including North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, which are crucial for reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. He has also won the electoral vote-heavy states of Texas and Florida.

Trump addressed his supporters at his election headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, although CBS News has not yet made a projection in the presidential race as Trump does not currently have the necessary electoral votes to declare victory officially.

Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump's opponent, has won states such as New York, California, and Virginia. However, her path to victory has narrowed significantly with Trump's wins in key battleground states.

The election has seen over 82 million ballots cast during early voting, and voters have prioritized issues such as the condition of democracy, the economy, abortion, and immigration.

Trump's victory in Pennsylvania, securing 19 electoral votes, has been a major blow to Harris' campaign. Both candidates had heavily invested in Pennsylvania, recognizing its pivotal role in the election.
