    In states reporting votes so far, we’ve seen results from 133 counties, precincts and townships that we think are basically complete. They are almost exactly in line with our pre-election projections pointing toward a very close race.

    NYT swingometer 276 Trump, all results still well possible though.

    I'm not adding to Harris but not dumping my green yet.

    Well done the Labour Government for officially sending off people and paying them to go campaign for Harris

    Now President Trump 2.0 will nuke us. Brilliant

    NBC reports 50-44 among independents for Donald Trump in PA exit polls

    I think Kamala might be in a bit of trouble...
    Democrats outnumber Republicans in Pennsylvania so Trump had to win Independents clearly to have any chance at all there.

    With 7% in Pennsylvania is Harris 73% Trump 26%
