New York Times gives Trump edge in election forecast

With polls closed in all but one swing state — Nevada — The New York Times is estimating that Donald Trump has a better chance to win than Democrat Kamala Harris, putting his chances at victory at 69-70 percent.

The network says Georgia is leaning heavily toward the Republican, and he appears to be edging out Harris in North Carolina as well. If she loses both states, she’ll need to notch wins in Pennsylvania, Michigan and  Wisconsin to stay in the game.

In Pennsylvania, Harris holds a small lead, but analysts say the tally is mostly made up of mail-in and early ballots, which lean Democrat. She also holds a three point lead in Wisconsin, but there are many votes yet to be counted. In Michigan, Harris holds a more substantive lead, but only 13% of votes there have been tallie thus far.
