Polls are closing in Alaska, the US presidential election is over. Republicans gain control of the Senate. Hopes for peace
With the closing of polls in Alaska at 7:00 a.m. in Europe, the US presidential election officially ended with the November 5 vote to elect the 47th president.
All indications are that Donald Trump will be the winner. So far, the Republican tycoon has won both North Carolina and Georgia, two key states in the race for the White House. Even in other swing states he has an advantage. Donald Trump is the clear favorite in the race for the White House. The New York Times calculates that the former Republican president has more than a 95% chance of defeating Kamala Harris.
Citizens also voted in favor of several governor’s seats and a partial renewal of Congress. The new balance in the legislature will also determine the boundaries of the president’s actions, and in this regard, Republicans have taken three Senate seats away from Democrats, which should allow them to gain a majority.
The New York Times model estimates the outcome of the race in real time based on polling data, votes counted, and what is expected to be the remaining votes. And it predicts a result of 301 electors for the tycoon and 237 for his Democratic opponent.
Although the vote count is not yet complete, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, is already congratulating the Republican, in his words, “with an amazing victory.”
