Nationally, there are a total of 538 electoral votes, or electors, meaning a candidate needs to secure 270 to win. In the 2020 elections, President Joe Biden won 306 electoral votes to defeat Trump, who could only manage to garner 232 electoral votes.(Photo: The Canadian Press)

Republican candidate Donald Trump secured the electoral college after winning Wisconsin state over Kamala Harris to become the 47th President of the United States. He also won other swing states including Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and more while Democrat Kamala Harris bagged only 20 states so far as the projections started streaming in. The counting of ballots is underway in the remaining counties.

Trump is all set to become the new President as he won key swing states bringing his electoral votes tally to 277.
