Trump's triumph: A night of quiet defeat for Harris
Donald Trump has already declared victory. Kamala Harris does not plan to appear before voters. Earlier reactions, however, were not clear-cut. If I were to describe what Kamala Harris's campaign headquarters looks like now, I would say it is the image of defeat, state reports.
According to the latest "The New York Times forecast," Donald Trump already has 312 electoral votes secured, while Kamala Harris has 226. A total of 270 votes are needed to win, and the Republican candidate has already declared victory.
We were at Howard University, Kamala Harris's headquarters. When we left that place—it was very symbolic—hundreds, if not thousands, of people were leaving with us.
As he added, supporters of the Democrats "probably did not expect either Kamala Harris or a big celebration at the headquarters in the next few hours".
The place changed unbelievably. There was euphoria when we started our coverage from there, around 7:00 PM local time. Beyoncé's music was playing nonstop from the speakers, then a gospel choir sang, and they started reporting what was happening on CNN. It got quieter and quieter... There was no dancing and no music.
Sentiments worsened with each hour of following CNN, which provides ongoing state-by-state result forecasts. If I were to describe the image of what Howard University looks like now—that is, Kamala Harris's headquarters tonight—at this moment, I would say it is the image of defeat, summarised Kraśko.
He added that to have any chance of winning, Harris would have to win in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. And so far, Donald Trump is leading in all three of these states, he emphasised.
Not just the presidential elections. A great triumph for the Republicans
The probable victory in the presidential elections is not all. As reported by the Associated Press, the Republicans will take control of the US Senate.
It is still unknown what the Republicans' advantage in the Senate will be or whether they will maintain a majority in the House of Representatives.
