Trump or Harris: Who is ahead in the swing states?

Published

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona. In the United States, these states are called the “swing states”, the 7 states that could change everything.

As Ekwutosblog points out, the American election is not played by direct universal suffrage. The candidate who obtains the most votes is not necessarily the one who will be elected. In order to be elected president, a candidate must have a plebiscite of at least 270 electors. Each state has a number of electors corresponding to the number of its representatives in Congress. The “swing states” are often those that change everything, they are the states where the elections are really played out.

With less than 4 weeks to go before the election, French media Le Parisien has taken into consideration the situation in which Donald Trump and Kamala Harris find themselves within these 7 states. Based on data from the FiveThirtyEight site, here is what emerges:

The two candidates are side by side. While Donald Trump was leading in most swing states until the end of July, the arrival of Kamala Harris in the presidential race has reshuffled the cards. According to Le Parisien, the Democratic candidate is ahead of her opponent in voting intentions in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin. In Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia, the polls show a real to-and-fro between the two candidates.

At this stage, while the gap is only two points (barely) between Trump and Harris, the results are impossible to predict. The election could be decided by a handful of votes.

JUST IN: Governor Sim Fubara Signs N1.1 trillion Rivers state 2025 Budget Into Law.

 

His Excellency, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has signed into law the 2025 Rivers State Appropriation Bill, totaling 1.1 trillion naira.

Below are the statements of His Excellency as he signed into law the Appropriation Bill, tagged “Budget of Inclusive Growth & Development.”

“Let me first thank the Rivers State House of Assembly for doing a very diligent job and also realizing that what we have ahead of us is to continue to work for Rivers people. So, I want to thank you for working very, very hard and ensuring that we hit the ground running in this new year.”

“I want to say this, maybe for some persons somewhere who are still mixing up issues: we have only one Assembly, and that Assembly is headed by Rt. Hon. Victor Oko Jumbo. A group of friends about nine or ten months ago embarked on what they call a “Sinbad Journey.” Halfway through the journey, while they were coasting, they realized they were entering into the den of devils and sharks. They now retrieved, but it is too late. The truth is, we are not going back. We have given enough room for peace. As it stands now, our majority target is the interest of Rivers State and to continue to defend the integrity of governance. As far as I’m concerned, we have moved on.”

“Let me thank everyone who made this possible. We made a promise to you that we would continue to keep the interests of Rivers State first. So now that this bill has been signed, I can assure you that every projection in it will be kickstarted so that the record of performance accorded to this administration in the year 2024 will be surpassed in this year.”

“Let me thank my management team, that is, my exco, for all the support, most especially my deputy and everyone—the Commissioner for Finance, Budget, and the acting Internal Revenue Chairman—for the wonderful job they did last year. We expect you to do more because we have a bigger task ahead of us.”

“We have made some promises to our people in education, health, and agriculture. We must ensure we make a good impact, just like we have done in the areas of road infrastructure and other aspects of the economy.”

“Let me, on this note, thank everyone and wish you a happy and prosperous New Year ahead as we continue the journey of making Rivers State great again.”

“Thank you.”

The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 8, Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State,Musa Abdulahi has been suspended by the party’s executive members.

Abdulahi was also accused of misusing party funds designated for voter registration drives and cooperating with opposition factions.

The suspension, effective immediately, demands that Abdulahi return all party property and cease representing himself as the ward chairman.

The statement reads, “We, the executive members of the All Progressives Congress in Ward 8 of Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State have suspended the chairman, Musa Abdulahi.

“Abdulahi is to immediately return all party properties and official documents currently in his possession and he is hereby warned to also cease parading himself as the APC Ward 8 chairman or as a member of the party.

“Failure to comply with these directives will result in legal action, as the APC constitution clearly empowers the majority of ward executives to suspend any executive or party member found guilty of actions that violate the party’s principles and constitution.”
