Donald Trump on Verge of Political Comeback, Outperforming Kamala Harris in Swing States
Donald Trump is currently on the brink of what could be considered one of the greatest comebacks in political history. With over 100 million votes counted, the Republican candidate is outperforming his bitter rival Kamala Harris in most critical swing states, as reported by RadarOnline.
His early surge in the polls has led bookmakers to predict a stunning victory for Trump. Billionaire Elon Musk even went as far as declaring, “Game, set, and match.” Nigel Farage, a close friend of Trump and British right-wing politician, expressed his joy at the incredible political comeback unfolding before their eyes at a party held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
Confidence in Trump’s return to the White House grew steadily as the first polls closed. Early counting in the swing states showed him performing significantly better against Harris than he did in his loss to Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump secured his first major victory when the Associated Press called North Carolina in his favor. Shortly after, Georgia followed suit with Trump leading by a margin of around 51-48 percent. This victory came four years after Trump famously appealed to the state’s election chief to “find” the 11,000 votes needed for his victory.
Subsequently, Fox News called the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania for Trump, bringing him closer to the 270 electoral votes required for victory. Other swing states like Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin were still up for grabs, with Harris facing an uphill battle to secure a win.
Despite a close race in some swing states, Sara Elliot, spokesperson for Republicans Abroad, described Trump’s performance as a “shellacking” against Harris. Pollster Scarlett Maguire noted that Trump made significant progress with young and non-white voters, winning around one-third of ethnic minority votes, a remarkable feat for a Republican candidate.
Harris’s camp expressed concerns over her narrowing path to the White House as Trump continued to gain ground. The Democratic candidate had withdrawn from a planned speech in Washington and remained out of the public eye as projections favored Trump among Latino voters in Michigan.
Trump’s strong showing with Latino voters came as a surprise to many, especially after a recent controversy involving a comedian’s derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico at one of his rallies. The betting markets reacted dramatically to early results showing Trump’s lead in several swing states compared to the previous election.
