The provisional results of the American presidential election are known in the dreaded “Swing states” this Wednesday morning. And it's astonishing: Donald Trump seems able to win in the 7 pivotal states of the election.
In the United States, the results of the 2024 presidential elections began to fall since the early morning of Wednesday, November 6, French time. And eyes are now turning to the “Swing states”, the most undecided states, therefore the most important for the vote. None of these seven key states (Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona and North Carolina) has yet found a definitive winner, but partial results give some very clear, even implacable, trends.
As a reminder, according to the American voting system, each state won guarantees a certain number of votes among the 538 electors who will designate the American president in December. And for the moment, it is Donald Trump who has the advantage over Kamala Harris and who could even win the 93 major voters linked to the Swing states.
Trump advantage in Georgia, Pennsylvania and elsewhere
According to the Associated Press report, the agency which refers to the results of the elections in the USA, shortly before 5 a.m., in North CarolinaDonald Trump officially won. Donald Trump was also in the lead in Georgiaon 90% of the votes counted, with 51.1% ahead of Kamala Harris at 48.2%. In North CarolinaDonald Trump officially won. In the Michigan on 26% of the votes, the Republican provisionally won with 50.9% ahead of the Democrat at 47.4%. In the Wisconsinout of 57% of the votes counted, the former president had 50.2% against 48.4% for the Vice-President. L'Arizona also provisionally gave victory to Donald Trump, by a narrow head and on 50% of the votes, with 49.7% against 49.5%.
In Pennsylvania, on 39% of the votes counted, Kamala Harris took the lead for a time, at 49.7%, in a close battle with Donald Trump at 49.4%. But the former president turned the situation around since less than an hour later, shortly before 5 a.m. and on 57% of the votes this time, the Republican won 51.0% of the votes while Kamala Harris accumulated 48.1%. . THE Nevada did not yet have figures to provide.
It is therefore a red wave which seems to be sweeping over the Swing states. It will also be noted that in Floridaalmost categorized as an 8th Swing state given its 40 electors, Donald Trump obtained more than 56% of the votes, out of 96% of the count. He also won in Miami County, which he had lost in the last two elections in which he participated. It would therefore seem that the Trumpist electorate was particularly mobilized, perhaps more than pollsters and observers thought.
Donald Trump had, however, seen Kamala Harris make a resounding comeback in the polls, a few days before the election, to the point of overtaking him in certain territories. But polls remained extremely close in key swing states, according to RealClear Politics, and observers feared in the home stretch that the Trump vote had been underestimated. Their fears were undoubtedly well-founded.
