Good morning,
Donald Trump is on the brink of a historic return to the White House, with Republicans likely regaining control of the Senate. Early wins in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia have given Trump a decisive lead, pushing him to 267 electoral votes. Projections indicate he’ll surpass the 270 needed, potentially reaching a total of 312 votes.
