The Final Results in the Seven "Key States or Pendulums" (Trump Ultimately Won in All)

(By Molina and Taylor) Presidential elections in the United States have never been a trivial event, but this year, the contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has captured the attention of the entire world. In an election marked by deep divisions and a highly polarized electorate, the preliminary results have left many with a mix of surprise and expectation. This article explores the outcome of this closely contested battle, focusing on the seven key states that were decisive for the political future of the country.

Election night last Tuesday was a spectacle that kept millions of Americans and Latin Americans on edge. Against the backdrop of a pandemic that has reconfigured daily life, Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice president, emerged as a historic figure, aspiring to be the first woman president of the United States. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, the former Republican president, sought to reclaim power after four years of opposition. The result of this contest not only affects the United States but also resonates throughout Latin America, where the political implications are deeply felt.

 

Trump secured at least 292 electoral votes (he needed 270) according to official data, against 224 for the current vice president.

 

Summary and Tips

Summary: This article analyzes the election results in the seven key states that defined the contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. It explores voting trends, factors that influenced the results, and future implications for both candidates and the country.

The Importance of the Seven Key States

“In this election, the seven ‘swing’ states became the decisive battleground,” explained a political analyst. These states, which include Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada, are critical because their voting can vary from one election to another, influenced by socioeconomic and demographic factors.

 

 

Pennsylvania: The Electoral Treasure

Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral votes, was one of the most coveted states. “The difference in this state was minimal, making it a true battleground,” stated a campaign strategist. Harris started leading with 68 votes to 31, but as the counting progressed, the situation became more uncertain.

Wisconsin and Michigan: Changing Strongholds

Wisconsin and Michigan are two states that have historically been Democratic strongholds. “Deindustrialization and demographic changes have led to greater competitiveness,” commented a sociologist. These states, which Trump won in 2016, are crucial for any candidate seeking the presidency.

 

Trump's Strategy

Donald Trump, known for his direct and controversial approach, focused on the economy and immigration as key pillars of his campaign. “Trump’s rhetoric resonated with an electorate that feels forgotten,” said a political marketing expert. However, his rhetoric also polarized many, which may have affected his performance in traditionally Republican states.

 

 

Kamala Harris: The Promise of Change

On the other hand, Kamala Harris, with her focus on inclusion and social justice, sought to attract a diverse base. “Harris represents a generational shift in American politics,” highlighted an analyst. Her victory in states like California and New York reinforces her image as an emerging progressive leader.

Other Key States

Georgia and North Carolina

Georgia, which in previous years seemed a Republican stronghold, showed signs of change. “The unprecedented voter turnout suggests a transformation in the state’s demographics,” explained a commentator. North Carolina, while having voted Republican since 2008, elected a Democratic governor in 2017, indicating a possible openness to change.

Arizona and Nevada

Arizona, with its history of Republican voting, surprised by opting for Biden in 2020. “The issue of immigration is particularly relevant in this state,” commented an immigration policy expert. Nevada, for its part, has been a Democratic stronghold since George Bush in 2004.
