Harris, meanwhile, has secured strongholds such as California, New York, and Illinois, maintaining a solid base of support in traditionally Democratic regions.
While Trump currently leads the popular vote with 57,835,187 votes (51.4%) compared to Harris’s 53,089,203 votes (47.2%), major states like Nevada and Arizona are yet to report complete results.
The Associated Press has yet to call the race, indicating that more updates from crucial states could shift the current standings.
Third-Party Candidates Make Small Gains
Other candidates, including the Green Party’s Jill Stein and Independent candidate Robert Kennedy, have garnered minor support, each receiving around 0.4% of the popular vote, though neither has won any electoral votes.
Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver also joins the ranks with 0.4% of the vote, reflecting limited but notable support for alternative parties.
The electoral map shows the country divided, with pockets of undecided states still tallying their votes.
