The Hill newspaper predicts a Trump victory.

The American Hill newspaper reported on Wednesday that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has won enough electoral votes to win the US election.

⠀

The newspaper’s joint counter with election forecasting service Decision Desk HQ predicts a Trump victory in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, and in Alaska, the state where the election ended the latest. Thus, Trump gains 270 electoral votes, and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris 213 votes.

⠀

In the United States, the media traditionally announce the expected winner (the so-called projected winner) as data on the voting progress becomes available. This allows the public to be quickly informed of estimated results based on verified data.

Leading media companies employ independent analysts and statisticians who work with polling station data and polling results. This forecasting system is based on detailed analysis and many years of experience, which makes the outcome of elections more transparent and understandable to voters.
