(MENAFN) As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches its climax, the race is growing tighter, with contender Donald gaining ground in several pivotal swing states. Early projections from the Edison Research Foundation indicate that Trump is making a strong push, particularly in North Carolina, where he has outpaced his challenger, Vice President Kamala Harris. This surprising shift in voter sentiment could pave the way for Trump’s unprecedented return to the White House—an achievement that would make him the first former president in more than 100 years to reclaim the nation's highest office.



However, despite Trump's significant strides, the overall outcome of the election remains highly uncertain. As of the most recent results, several key battleground states have yet to be fully decided. Six states are still too close to call, and their results will likely determine the ultimate winner of the election. With roughly a third of the vote counted across the country, Trump has secured more than 230 electoral votes, while Harris trails with 210 votes. To win the presidency, a candidate needs to obtain at least 270 electoral votes, leaving the race incredibly competitive.



Looking ahead, Trump's prospects appear favorable. Projections suggest he is on track to win Georgia, a crucial swing state that would further strengthen his electoral lead. In contrast, Harris’s campaign is encountering difficulties in several other key states. While she holds on to hopes of securing victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—three states that were critical to her 2020 win—the latest data indicates that she is currently falling behind Trump in all three, presenting a significant challenge to her campaign.



A major factor influencing the election is the ongoing economic concerns that dominate voter priorities. Across the country, many Americans are expressing dissatisfaction with the state of the economy, which is driving a shift in political support. According to recent exit polls, nearly 31% of voters list economic issues as their primary concern, and Trump has been quick to leverage this dissatisfaction, positioning himself as the candidate who can address the nation's economic woes.



The economic frustrations are especially apparent in the personal financial situations of many voters. A striking 45% of voters reported that their family’s financial situation is worse today than it was four years ago, a sentiment that underscores the challenges facing the current administration. This sense of economic decline has helped bolster Trump’s appeal among voters who feel that his policies could be the answer to reversing the nation’s economic struggles.
