It is unlikely that the results of the US presidential election will be known soon. However, there will not be complete uncertainty either, stated observer Vita Dumanska, a coordinator of the Chesno movement, in a comment to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel from one of the polling stations in the US.
According to her, the results of the election will not be known tonight. In some states, they may only be revealed in a week or even several weeks, so waiting will be necessary.
"Local experts here say that official results could be available by the end of November, and some say that if there are any problematic issues, it could even be by Christmas," Dumanska emphasized.
Moreover, as the election observer noted, it is not guaranteed that results will be available tomorrow morning for all the swing states that determine the victory of one of the two candidates. Pennsylvania, in particular, is a very complicated state.
"There won’t be complete (uncertainty - ed.). Look, there won’t be official results (tomorrow or the day after - ed.). That’s for sure... If results from the swing states are known, it may even be clear who has the better outcome without Pennsylvania. We will also see the overall number of votes received by the candidates,” Dumanska explained.
US presidential election
Today, the presidential election has begun in the US. According to Republican candidate Donald Trump, there are already long lines at polling stations.
It is still unknown who will be the winner, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, because the results of polls and forecasts are ambiguous.
This election is being closely monitored in Ukraine, as it will affect further support for Ukraine in its war against Russia from Washington.
