As we anxiously await the outcome of the highly anticipated presidential election, one story has captured the attention of many. A voter from North Carolina, Bryan Flores, has become a viral sensation after revealing the reason behind his vote for Kamala Harris - his girlfriend.
In an interview with CNN, Bryan shared that he had not planned on voting at all, but his girlfriend's persistent urging led him to the polls. "My girlfriend was blowing up my phone, telling me to go vote. She even threatened to break up with me if I didn't," he said with a laugh. When asked if she was serious about the breakup, Bryan replied, "No, I made that up."
Although he had voted for Biden in the 2020 election, Bryan had not intended on voting in person this time around. "I was going to stay home, eat some chips or something," he joked. But thanks to his girlfriend's persuasion, he made his way to the polling station.
As the polls close across the country, we are still waiting to see the final results of this highly contested election. So far, Kamala Harris has secured victories in states like New York, Massachusetts, and Maryland, while Donald Trump has taken Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. It's important to note that not all states have finished counting votes, so the final outcome is still unknown.
Typically, a clear winner is announced within hours of the polls closing, but it can take weeks for an official tally to be released as each state has its own counting procedures. Currently, Kamala Harris has 226 electoral votes from states that typically vote Democratic, while Trump has 219 from states that lean towards the Republican party. This means that Harris only needs to secure 44 more votes, while Trump needs 51 more, to reach the 270 threshold for victory.
The impact of swing states cannot be ignored in this election. These states, also known as battleground states, have a significant number of electoral votes and can sway the outcome of the election. Together, the seven swing states hold 93 electoral votes, making them crucial in determining the winner of the election. As we continue to wait for the final results, the nation holds its breath in anticipation.
