🇺🇸It’s Election Day in The U.S.A

Election Day has finally arrived in the US, as voters choose either former President Donald Trump's or Vice President Kamala Harris

Election Day has finally arrived in the US, following former President Donald Trump’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ last-minute campaign blitzes in key battleground states. Trump held rallies in North Carolina and Pennsylvania yesterday before ending in Michigan, while Harris spent the day in Pennsylvania. Track live election results here.

Pennsylvania (19 electoral votes) is seen as the tipping point among six other swing states whose collective 93 electoral votes are considered crucial to the election outcome. Trump and President Joe Biden won Pennsylvania in 2016 and 2020, respectively. However, the final results might not be known until later.

In 2020, Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania wasn’t clear until four days after Election Day. See when battleground state polls close here. A candidate must secure at least 270 of 538 votes to win the Electoral College; calculate your own Electoral College map here

Control of the US Senate and House are also up for grabs, with Republicans hoping to flip a number of seats. In Montana, incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (D) faces Tim Sheehy (R); in Ohio, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) faces businessman Bernie Moreno (R); in Pennsylvania, incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D) faces David McCormick (R); and in Michigan, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D) faces former Rep. Mike Rogers (R) for a seat vacated by retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D). Dive deeper here.

On the House side, races to watch include the battle for Virginia’s 7th District, featuring newcomers and former Army veterans Derrick Anderson (R) and Eugene Vindman (D). Vindman and his twin brother raised concerns about a 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukraine that led to Trump’s first impeachment.

In Nebraska’s 2nd District, incumbent Rep. Don Bacon (R) faces Sen. Tony Vargas (D) in a 2022 rematch. And in Michigan, Slotkin’s decision to run for the Senate opens up her seat in Lansing. See key races to watch in all 50 states here.
