The New York Times says it considers Trump “likely to win the presidency” with the former president leading in key swing states.
The newspaper puts Trump’s chances of winning at 87%.
No major network has called any of the seven crucial battlegrounds yet, but at an election party for Trump near his home in south Florida, supporters are growing more excited and rowdy, giving the event the feel of a rally, the Times reports.
Meanwhile, at a “pray and watch party” at Detroit’s Historic King Solomon Baptist Church, a pastor struggles to keep spirits buoyed.
“I am so glad we are here,” says Rev. Charles Williams II, the event’s host. “If I was at home, I would turn off the TV and go to bed. Because this is challenging,” Williams says, reflecting the anxiety in the room.
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.
