US Polling Stations Close as Trump Claims Victory in Battleground States

Polling stations across the United States have now officially closed, marking the end of voting in the highly anticipated presidential election, according to NAN reports.

Due to the country’s multiple time zones, the closing of the polls stretched over several hours. While the election’s winner has yet to be determined, Republican candidate Donald Trump has secured victories in two key battleground states, inching closer to a potential win.

Trump has already addressed his supporters, expressing gratitude for their unwavering support throughout the campaign. To claim victory, a candidate needs to secure 270 electoral votes from across the country.
