Contention in the Seven Swing States
As of early morning, the battle remains tight in the seven contested states, with no definitive projections from major media outlets. In Arizona, with 50.9% of votes counted, Trump leads narrowly at 49.7% against Harris’s 49.5%.

Florida Abortion Vote
A citizen-led referendum in Florida to protect abortion rights did not pass, a significant blow to advocates. Although referendums in New York and Maryland backed pro-abortion measures, Florida’s results reflect the influence of Governor Ron DeSantis and Trump’s supporters, who campaigned against it.

Financial Market Reactions
Bitcoin surged to a record $75,060 in Asian markets as investors anticipate a Trump victory. The U.S. dollar also saw a 1.5% gain against the euro and yen, while oil prices fell, reflecting ongoing uncertainty.
