Exit polls have forecasted a nearly even divide between the two candidates in the seven critical battleground states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin - which could ultimately determine the election's outcome. These closely contested states, home to a mix of divided voters, are receiving significant campaign attention and funding as each candidate aims to win over undecided voters on key issues like the economy, now a top priority for many.
Final results may not be immediately available on Election Day, as these swing states will need time to complete vote counting.

As polling stations opened, Democratic vice president Harris, 60, and Republican former president Trump, 78, were dead-even in the tightest and most volatile White House contest of modern times.
The bitter rivals had spent their final day of the campaign frenetically working to get their supporters out to the polls and courting any last undecided voters in the swing states expected to decide the outcome.
But despite head-spinning twists in the campaign -- from Harris's dramatic entrance when President Joe Biden dropped out in July, to Trump riding out two assassination attempts and a criminal conviction -- nothing has broken the opinion poll deadlock.
Tens of millions of voters are expected to cast their ballots, on top of the 83 million who have already voted early.
