A uniform shift to the right
There are still a lot more votes to count, especially in the Western states, but as of now, no state has shifted to the left compared to its 2020 results.
Trump could carry all seven swing states
Let's check in on the results in the seven main presidential swing states. As we've reported, Trump is already projected to win Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. And so far, more votes have been counted for him than for Harris in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin as well. That raises the possibility that he could sweep all seven states for a 312-226 Electoral College victory.

When will Wisconsin be projected?
Wisconsin could be one of the next states to be projected.
