If Trump wins Pennsylvania, he will become the next U.S. President. This sets the stage for absolute Republican dominance, as they have also gained control of the Senate.

Η Κάμαλα Χάρις θα χρειαστεί ένα θαύμα για να αντέξει το «γαλάζιο τείχος» (Μίσιγκαν, Πενσιλβάνια, Ουισκόνσιν). Αυτή την ώρα είναι πίσω και στις 3 πολιτείες. Ο δε Τραμπ πηγαίνει για επικράτηση σε όλα τα swing states με βάση τα τωρινά δεδομένα. #USElection2024

Republicans Win the Senate
The Republican Party has regained the Senate’s majority, as the Associated Press reported. The party secured seats in Ohio and West Virginia, while their candidates held strong in Texas and Nebraska. This marks the first time in four years that Republicans will control the Senate.

The Guardian notes that a victory for Trump will allow the Republicans to appoint Supreme Court justices, federal judges, and cabinet members, while a win for Harris would give her the power to delay or block those appointments.

Contention in the Seven Swing States
As of early morning, the battle remains tight in the seven contested states, with no definitive projections from major media outlets. In Arizona, with 50.9% of votes counted, Trump leads narrowly at 49.7% against Harris’s 49.5%.

Florida Abortion Vote
A citizen-led referendum in Florida to protect abortion rights did not pass, a significant blow to advocates. Although referendums in New York and Maryland backed pro-abortion measures, Florida’s results reflect the influence of Governor Ron DeSantis and Trump’s supporters, who campaigned against it.

Financial Market Reactions
Bitcoin surged to a record $75,060 in Asian markets as investors anticipate a Trump victory. The U.S. dollar also saw a 1.5% gain against the euro and yen, while oil prices fell, reflecting ongoing uncertainty.
