Trump Takes the Lead in 2024 Election
Donald Trump has taken the lead in the 2024 election, clinching North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes on Tuesday night.
The win brings Trump’s electoral count to 230, compared to 187 for Vice President Harris.
Trump is also leading in key battleground states.
By 11 p.m., he held narrow leads in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina, with varying percentages of votes counted in each state.
Although Trump currently leads in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where 67% and 59% of votes were counted, Harris has slight leads in Michigan and Arizona, where around 20% and 48% of votes have been tallied.
Voting in Nevada, the final swing state to close its polls at 10 p.m. EST, remains ongoing.
Meanwhile, in bad news for the crypto community, democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren secured re-election to the U.S. Senate, defeating her Republican opponent, pro-cryptocurrency attorney John Deaton.
Warren has been a vocal critic of the cryptocurrency industry. In contrast, Deaton has been more favorable toward the industry.
Prominent individuals in the crypto industry, including Anthony Scaramucci, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Ripple’s executive chair Chris Larsen, financially supported Deaton’s bid for office.
