Donald Trump appears to have won two key battlegrounds in the contest to become the next US president, edging towards victory and narrowing Kamala Harris's path to the White House. Republican Mr Trump is predicted to win in North Carolina and Georgia, two of the seven crucial swing states where the race is likely to be close. Democrat candidate Ms Harris's hopes for the presidency now rely on winning in the five remaining battleground states - Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin - though the odds appear stacked against her in many of them.
