In the race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, polls indicated that her best opportunity for victory lay in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Both candidates seemed to acknowledge this by focusing their final campaign efforts in those states. Harris made several stops in Pennsylvania on Monday, visiting key Democratic areas like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Scranton. However, Pennsylvania was the first of these three states that the Associated Press called for Trump early Wednesday morning. Following that call came Wisconsin at 4:20 a.m., and shortly before 1 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, AP declared Michigan for Trump as well. This resulted in a complete sweep of the blue wall for the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also secured victories in North Carolina and Georgia while maintaining leads in Nevada and Arizona by Wednesday afternoon. If these trends continue, he will have achieved a full sweep across seven swing states. With Michigan&#8217;s results included, Trump leads with 295 Electoral College votes compared to 226 for his opponent; only 270 are required to win the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to his performance against Biden in 2020\u2014when Biden won all blue wall states along with Georgia and Arizona\u2014Trump showed improved results this year against Harris even in traditionally Democratic strongholds like Minnesota and Illinois while winning Iowa by an even larger margin than before (13 points compared to approximately 8).
