Vice President Kamala Harris secured a significant victory in Maryland over former President Donald Trump, amassing nearly 972,000 votes to Trump's 422,000, reinforcing Maryland's long-standing Democratic stronghold. In Connecticut, Harris also led Trump by over 20 percentage points, marking the third consecutive presidential election where the state chose a Democrat. Conversely, Trump triumphed in Texas, winning with 58% of the vote and maintaining his historical dominance in the state. Harris's victories in Democratic-leaning states contrast sharply with Trump's success in traditionally Republican territories, highlighting the polarized nature of the election. Both candidates are focusing on crucial battleground states, where the final outcome remains uncertain. The national race continues to hinge on key states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are expected to take longer to finalize due to their competitive nature.
