Trump wins first battleground state, waiting for blue or red

US media outlets projected the results of the first battleground state, with a victory of 16 electoral votes in North Carolina for Mr. Donald Trump.

NBC News, Fox News, The New York Times and several other American media outlets on the morning of November 6 (Vietnam time) projected that Mr. Trump had won in the first battleground state of North Carolina, after more than 90% of the votes were counted.

This is a similar result to 2020, when the Republican presidential candidate also won this state. North Carolina is the first of seven battleground states that media outlets have projected the results. With more than 93% of the votes counted, Mr. Trump is also predicted to win another battleground state, Georgia, thereby reversing the results of this state, which voted for President Joe Biden in 2020.

Donald Trump campaigned in Michigan on November 5.

Seven battleground states, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, are now in the spotlight, with a tight race between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The vote count is still ongoing, and it is difficult to predict who will win, especially in the northeastern battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. As of 12:00 on November 6, no state other than North Carolina and Georgia had counted more than 90% of the votes, with Pennsylvania the closest with more than 83% of the votes counted.

Is the US economy better under President Trump?

Observers believe that Mr. Trump currently has the advantage to become the winner of 270 electoral votes, thereby winning the presidency after 8 years. In the 3 northeastern states mentioned above, Mr. Trump is currently leading with a higher percentage of votes. However, experts note that the above states are called "battlegrounds" because the results are unpredictable and unexpected at the last minute.

In a development related to the 2024 US election, the Republican Party received good news when it won control of the Senate, Reuters reported.
