Trump inches ahead amid wait for results from battleground states

New vote tallies coming in after polls closed in some western states push Donald Trump up to as many 205 electoral votes compared to 117 for Kamala Harris, according to a Fox News projection, but the battle over swing states seen as key to victory for either candidate remains neck and neck.

NBC, ABC and CBS all give Harris 91, but vary over Trump, counting between 178 and 201 electoral votes for the Republican.

The AP and New York Times, meanwhile, have him leading the Democrat 198 to 109.

The NYT’s needle now gives Trump a 78 percent chance of winning.

In Georgia, which appears to be the first of seven swing states nearing the completion of vote counting, Trump leads by some 200,000 votes, or 5%, with 85% of ballots reporting.
