The first results are in. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has taken Indiana’s 11 Electoral College votes, Kentucky’s eight slots, and West Virginia’s four, according to The Associated Press, which called the races. All three states went to Trump in the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections and have historically leaned conservative.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris received Vermont’s three Electoral College votes, according to the AP. The northeastern state went blue in the past two presidential elections, to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
