The congratulatory message comes as vote counting nears completion, with Trump holding a significant lead at 267 electoral votes, just three shy of the 270 needed to secure the presidency. Trump has won crucial battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as major states like Texas and Florida. This puts Trump on the verge of victory, with 30 states in his tally compared to Harris’s 20, which has brought her electoral count to 224.
Although the Associated Press has yet to call the race, Trump’s near-final lead indicates he is close to becoming the 47th President of the United States. The nation awaits the last counts from remaining counties, following a record-breaking early voting turnout by over 82 million Americans. The anticipated final results are expected to confirm Trump’s return to the White House, marking a new chapter in U.S.-India relations.
