Former President Donald Trump has made significant inroads in key states, particularly in the South and Midwest. Fox News reports that Trump is performing strongly in rural areas, a trend that helped secure his victories in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Nevertheless, the race is still too close to call in many battleground states, with both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris securing wins across multiple regions.
According to Economic Times, the states Trump has claimed so far include:
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- Arkansas
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- Alabama
- Tennessee
- Kentucky
- Indiana
- West Virginia
- South Carolina
- North Dakota
- South Dakota
- Nebraska
- Wyoming
- Kansas
- Iowa
On the other hand, Harris has gained substantial support in the Northeast and other major Democratic strongholds. The states currently projected to be in her column are:
- Maine
- Vermont
- Massachusetts
- Rhode Island
- Connecticut
- New Jersey
- Delaware
- Maryland
- Illinois
- New York
