Polls have closed in most states in the eastern US, giving slightly more shape to results of the US presidential race.
Several projections give Republican Donald Trump the states of Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Missouri, notching him 95 of 271 needed electoral votes. He was expected to win all seven states.
Democrat Kamala Harris is widely projected to win Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia, as expected, giving her 35 electoral votes.
Harris has a lead in Ohio, which had been projected to go to Trump, and voting tallies show Texas still neck and neck, though most votes have not yet been counted in both states.
Harris is also leading in the key states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Michigan, and in Virginia and Virginia, though vote-counting remains early in all of those states.
Trump has a lead in Georgia, another key state, and in Kansas.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
