The Republican is projected to win 301 of 270 electoral votes needed, the paper has said
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has an 89% chance of victory in the election, making his return to the White House likely, the New York Times projects.
The newspaper estimates that Trump is on track to secure 301 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the race for the White House, while Democrat Hamala Harris could win 238. The Republican currently leads with 214 electoral votes to Harris’ 179.
The NYT said that Trump is very likely to take the swing state of Georgia and has won North Carolina, while Harris will have to secure Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which will be difficult given the Republican’s advantage in all three.
