WHAT pollsters and analysts predicted would be an exceptionally tight presidential race has turned into a blowout for Donald Trump.
With all but a few states called as of Wednesday morning, Trump will cruise to the White House for a second time after winning the critical swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.

And come back to see when the final states are called.
Some states, like Texas, were runaway wins for Trump, who leads by over 1.5 million votes.
And Kamala Harris ran up the margin in California, where she holds a lead of over 1.6 million.
But crucially, Harris didn’t improve over Joe Biden’s 2020 election showing in any state.
Trump meanwhile made inroads in traditionally blue states like New York, where he lost by just 10 points compared to 23 points four years ago.
And the vote tallies in the swing states, which were predicted to be within a point just before election day, show a starkly different picture.
With Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin all calling for Trump, the results in Arizona and Nevada are still coming in.

Trump clinched Pennsylvania, a critical swing state he lost to Joe Biden by fewer than 100,000 votes in 2020, late Tuesday night by over 150,000 ballots.
Prior to the Pennsylvania call, Trump secured early victories in battlegrounds North Carolina and Georgia, delivering a gut punch to Harris’ White House hopes.
Trump, who narrowly lost the Peach State in 2020 by just under 12,000 votes, earned over 117,000 votes more than Harris in this election.
And in North Carolina, Trump doubled down on his conservative status, winning the Tar Heel state by over 119,000 votes and collecting more than 45,000 votes over his performance in the 2020 election.
Wisconsin, one of the “Blue Wall” states that the Harris campaign fought tooth and nail to hold on, also flipped in favor of her opponent.
Trump clinched the presidency after taking Wisonsin’s 10 Electoral Votes by just under 30,000 votes.
Meanwhile, Michigan was called for Trump Wednesday afternoon as the president-elect won the state by over 80,000 votes.
Despite the official vote count still pending in Nevada and Arizona, Trump is expected to snatch the Electoral College votes in each state.
The unprecedented tally will solidify Trump’s triumph in all seven battleground states.
