US Election 2024: First polls close as US decides on Harris or Trump in nail-biting presidential race
Briefly

The seven states—Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin in the Rust Belt and Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina in the Sun Belt—are battlegrounds crucial in elections.
Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin previously formed a 'blue wall' for Democrats but flipped to Trump in 2016, causing a significant political shift.
Joe Biden's success in reclaiming these key states in 2020 demonstrated the changing political landscape, where traditional voting patterns were overturned.
Surprising wins for Biden in Georgia and Arizona further illustrate how these battleground states can dramatically influence the outcome of national elections.
