The election results are closely tied to voter turnout in key demographics, particularly among minority groups such as Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania, which could significantly influence the final outcome.
Trump's early claims of voter fraud, particularly in Pennsylvania and Michigan, reflect a strategy that aims to cast doubt on the electoral process, reminiscent of tactics used in the 2020 election.
The contrasting campaign styles of Trump and Harris highlight the divided political landscape, with Trump focusing on rallying his base and Harris appealing to a broader electorate seeking stability.
As counting continues, the results in swing states like Arizona and Wisconsin will be critical in determining the final outcome of the election.
If Trump's lead holds in key states, he may declare victory before all votes are counted, potentially leading to legal challenges similar to those seen in the 2020 election.
Harris's campaign will likely focus on mobilizing voters in urban areas to close the gap in the electoral college.
