WATCH THE VIDEO HERE NaijaOnPoint Nigeria reports that the U.S. presidential race has become a close contest, with former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in early results. As votes continue to be counted, Trump currently holds 243 electoral votes, just ahead of Harris with 194, with both candidates striving for the 270 needed to win. Trump, aiming to reclaim the office after his 2020 loss, has gained strong support in traditionally Republican states like Missouri, Alabama, and West Virginia. His appeal among working-class voters remains high, particularly in states where he consistently attracts backing from voters without a college degree. Harris, meanwhile, is making strides among young and Black voters, especially in battleground states like Georgia, where she has drawn considerable support from around 86% of Black voters and 60% of those under 30. This coalition strengthens her path as she seeks to become the first female president of the United States. With the economy ranking as the top priority for many voters, key states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are drawing intense focus. As these final tallies unfold, the nation is bracing for a tight finish that could go down to the last counted vote.
