As of Wednesday, by securing Wisconsin’s electoral votes in the ballot count, he has surpassed the magic number of 270.
This confirms Trump’s re-election as President for a second term.
According to information from the Associated Press, with Wisconsin’s 10 electoral college votes, Trump’s total now stands at 277, while Kamala Harris has 224.
After casting his vote in Florida yesterday, Trump expressed confidence, saying Republicans were performing well everywhere and he was optimistic about victory.
In 2016, Trump was the first Republican to win Wisconsin since Ronald Reagan, although he lost the state to Biden in 2020.
Both Harris and Trump invested significant time campaigning in the swing state of Wisconsin. After the 2020 election, Trump filed a lawsuit seeking a recount of the votes in this state but ultimately lost.
According to AP’s voting data, Trump was declared the winner in Wisconsin at 5:34 a.m. local time.
Trump is set to become the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be re-elected to a second, non-consecutive term as U.S. President.
