Trump wins US election – media

Several election result models in the US have predicted the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the presidential elections.

In particular, the Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) forecast predicts that Trump will win in Pennsylvania and Alaska, which will secure him the minimum 270 electoral votes needed for victory. It is reported that several states where Trump is guaranteed to receive electoral votes remain uncounted.

The New York Times considers Trump's victory "very likely". According to the forecast, he could receive up to 306 electoral votes of the required 270.

It was reported that for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to win, she needs to gain an advantage in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, but Trump is clearly leading in these states.

The Fox News forecast also predicts Trump’s victory, and that it will be confirmed if he wins in Wisconsin.

It has been confirmed that Trump was winning in the swing states of North Carolina and Georgia and was also winning in Iowa, where polls had suggested the potential for a surprising result.

Additionally, the Republican Party has regained control of the US Senate following the elections. The Republicans have been in the minority over the past four years.
