Counting has barely begun for the US elections and Donald Trump has been announced the winner in the Red states of Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia and Kamala Harris in the Blue state of Vermont by American networks.
In Indiana, which has 11 electoral college votes, Republican nominee Trump has received 61.9% of the ballots counted so far while Democratic nominee Harris has polled 36.4%. In 2020, Trump got 57% of the votes while then Democratic candidate Joe Biden got 41%.
Kentucky has eight electoral college votes and former president Trump has polled 69.7% of the ballots counted so far while Vice President Harris has received 28.7%. The state had voted in favour of Trump in 2020, with 62.1% of votes going to him and 36.2% being polled by Biden.Â
The three electoral college votes of Vermont will go to Harris, according to US networks, who is leading with 59.4% of the ballots counted, while Trump has received 37.9%. The state was won by Biden in the last elections and he got 66.1% of the votes while Trump received only 30.7%.
In what will come as bad news for Harris, however, she is trailing in the swing state of Georgia, which was narrowly won by Biden last time. Trump is ahead with 58.2% of the votes while Harris has got 41.3%.Â
Trump is also ahead in Florida, South Carolina and Ohio while Harris has the edge in Virginia, North Carolina and New Hampshire.Â
