US Election Result: Trump Leads with 243 Electoral Votes, Harris at 194

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former president Donald Trump are locked in a fierce race for the White House as polls closed across the United States early Wednesday, though results are still pouring in.

As of now, U.S. media projections show that Trump has won 24 states, including major battlegrounds like Texas and Ohio, along with reliably Republican states such as Alabama and Georgia. Harris has claimed victory in 15 states, with significant wins in California and New York, as well as the U.S. capital, Washington, D.C.

With 243 electoral votes, Trump is currently ahead, while Harris has secured 194. The magic number needed to win the presidency is 270, and the outcome will likely be determined by a handful of pivotal swing states.
