Donald Trump making historic comeback
Former US President Donald Trump on Wednesday is cruising towards winning the race for the White House in one of the greatest political comebacks in American history by almost defeating his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in an election that virtually divided the country into two camps, reported news agency PTI.
"This will be the golden age of America... America has given us an unprecedented mandate" Trump said in West Palm Beach in Florida, in a victory speech," he said, reported PTI.
He told Americans that this moment will "help this country heal", reported PTI.
The 78-year-old Republican leader is winning the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, the three crucial battleground states. However, the Associated Press (AP) has called the race in favour of Trump in these states.
According to races called by the Associated Press up to 2:30 pm, 267 electoral votes had gone to Republican candidate Trump and 224 to Democratic Party's Harris, reported PTI.
Counting of votes is still underway in other battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada.
The US has 50 states and most of them vote for the same party in every election except the swing states.
Generally, there is not much surprise over the candidates picking up victories in states other than the pivotal battleground ones. Overall a total of 538 electoral college votes are up for grabs.
