Trump declares victory, Harris yet to concede
As TUKO.co.ke reported earlier, Trump declared victory over Harris after being projected to win the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
To win the presidency, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes. In 2020, the Republican presidential candidate lost his re-election bid to the incumbent president, Joe Bidden of the Democrats.
However, Harris has yet to concede defeat to Trump at the time of filling this report.
