Candidates outline paths to victory in tight U.S. presidential race

smh.com.au

In the U.S. presidential election, candidates need 270 Electoral College votes to win. Currently, polls show Kamala Harris with 226 votes and Donald Trump with 219, leaving 93 votes from seven competitive states. Harris could secure victory by winning Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, while Trump could win by taking Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Both candidates have paths to reach 270 votes, but polling indicates tight races in key states. If both candidates end up with 269 votes, the election would be decided by the House of Representatives, with each state delegation casting one vote. This scenario could lead to significant uncertainty in the election outcome.
