The 2024 US Presidential Election has begun, with the first polls closing on the East Coast. The nation holds its breath as we wait to see if Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will emerge victorious. Early results are trickling in, offering glimpses into the potential outcome of this historic race.
Trump has secured early victories in Kentucky and Indiana, according to the Associated Press. In Kentucky, where Trump received the endorsement of Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, he leads with 64.6% of the vote, with 34% of votes counted. In Indiana, with 24% of votes counted, Trump currently holds 64%. These early leads solidify Trump’s support in traditional Republican strongholds.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Kamala Harris has taken Vermont, a state known for its Democratic leanings. With 20% of Vermont’s votes tallied, Harris has secured 69% of the vote. The fact that Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott voted Democrat in this election further underscores the state’s strong Democratic support.
While these early results provide a snapshot of the race, the night is still young. Many other states are yet to report, and the path to victory remains uncertain. The close race in key states suggests that the election could come down to the wire, with every vote counting. Stay tuned for further updates as the night progresses and the race unfolds.
