Notably, Georgia, with 90 per cent of votes counted, has Trump in the lead, which could be a significant blow to Kamala Harris' chances. Similarly, with 86% of votes counted, Trump's lead in North Carolina adds to his momentum. However, it's essential to remember that these results are not final, and The Associated Press has not called winners in any swing states yet.

US presidential election winner not yet clear

The Fox reports that in other states, the picture is less clear. Michigan, with only 27 per cent of votes counted, still has a long way to go before a winner can be declared. Similarly, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with 67 per cent and 59 per cent of votes counted, respectively, are still too close to call.

Results in Nevada are still pending, and this state could potentially play a decisive role in the election outcome. The electoral map is complex, and multiple pathways to victory exist for both Trump and Harris.

As the election unfolds, attention turns to these remaining battleground states, where the outcome remains uncertain. Trump's momentum in Georgia and North Carolina could potentially boost his chances in these critical contests. However, Harris still has opportunities to gain ground, and the election remains intensely contested.
