US President Donald Trump won Florida on Tuesday after a close race with rival Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the state that has 29 electoral votes, the Associated Press announced.
New York (29) and Florida (29) have the highest number of votes in the group, after California (55) and Texas (38).
Given the importance of Florida, Trump voted early, while former President Barack Obama promoted his former MP, Biden, at several election rallies in their cities.
The importance of Florida is that it is tremendously critical in the victory of the candidates, because historically it oscillates between the Republican and Democratic parties, at a time when each party wins support in specific states.
And Florida tipped the balance, Trump, in the 2016 election at the expense of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
And he previously supported Obama in the 2008 election at the expense of his Republican opponent, John McCain, and is considered one of the largest swing states among the candidates.
And decades ago, the winning candidate in Florida won the United States elections, and this explains the importance of this state in the great presidential race.
Florida was the subject of a severe dispute in the 2000 presidential election between Republican George W. Bush and his Democratic rival, Al Gore.
So far, Trump has won the states of Nebraska (five electoral college votes), New Mexico (5), Louisiana (8), Wyoming (3), North Dakota (3), South Dakota (3), Tennessee ( 11) and Oklahoma (7). ), Mississippi (6), Alabama (9), West Virginia (5) and Kentucky (8), while his opponent won New York (29), Virginia (13), Rhode Island (4), New Jersey (14) and Massachusetts (11), Maryland (10), Illinois (20), Delaware (3), Connecticut (7) and Colorado (9).
More than 100 million voters cast their votes early in the last few weeks, before the elections, on Tuesday, to avoid queuing, with the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
