Swing States Swing To Advantage Trump, Harris Trails In 6 Out Of 7

Four hours into the US election counting, Republican candidate Donald Trump has surged ahead of his Democrat opponent Kamala Harris in all the seven swing states that hold the key to the White House. North Carolina and Georgia have been called in favour of Trump. He is also ahead in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada. 
Also known as battleground states, swing states hold the key to victory in the US election. These states have a nearly equal level of support for the Democrats and Republicans, and the election is won and lost in these states. This year, the swing states are Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral college votes, Michigan (10), Georgia (16), Wisconsin (10), North Carolina (16), Nevada (6) and Arizona (11).
