President-elect Donald Trump became the projected winner of the presidential election in Nevada and Arizona on Saturday, formalizing a sweep of the seven battleground states.
The two victories bring Trump’s Electoral College vote total to 312. As of 10 p.m. on Saturday, he led Vice President Kamala Harris by more than 3.7 million votes on the national level.
A state becomes a battleground when all available estimates make the race too close to call. There were seven battlegrounds in the 2024 election: North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. While Trump became the projected winner on Wednesday morning, Arizona and Nevada were expected to take days to count ballots. By Saturday, enough ballots were processed to make an informed projection.
