UPDATE 12:37 a.m. ET:
CNN has now joined others in projecting Donald Trump has won Georgia. That puts Trump on the cusp of the presidency.
UPDATE 12:36 a.m. ET:
While Republicans have taken the U.S. Senate and Donald Trump is likely to win the presidency, the U.S. House majority hangs in the balance. Based on Associated Press and New York Times race calls so far and where Republicans lead close races that have yet to be called, Republicans are likely to take at least 215 seats in the House. There are several close House races beyond those, more than a dozen or so, so Republicans could very well hold their slim House majority and possibly even add to it. It’s unclear if that picture will come together fully this evening, but House Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly en route from his home in Louisiana to West Palm Beach to join Trump’s party and has reportedly told people the House majority will expand.
UPDATE 12:23 a.m. ET:
In Montana’s U.S. Senate race, with 16 percent reporting, Republican Tim Sheehy leads huge–59 percent to 39 percent–over Democrat Sen. Jon Tester. It’s early there, but it’s hard to see Tester hang on in this one.
UPDATE 12:09 a.m. ET:
With 77 percent reporting in Wisconsin, Trump leads by about 100,000 votes and has 51 percent to Harris’s 47 percent. With 48 percent reporting in Michigan, Trump leads by well more than 130,000 votes and has 52 percent to Harris’s 47 percent. In Pennsylvania, with 85 percent reporting Trump leads by more than 150,000 votes and has 51 percent to Harris’s 48 percent.
It’s beginning to look very tough for Harris to have a path back to leads in any of these states. Trump, if he locks in Arizona where he also leads, only needs one of them.
UPDATE 12:02 a.m. ET:
Kamala Harris and her campaign are coming to terms with the likelihood she has lost the election:
UPDATE 11:59 p.m. ET:
The GOP has won control of the United States Senate.
Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) came back and won against her challenger, putting the GOP over the top to 51 seats. GOP candidates have good shots in several more seats. This could get really bad for Democrats tonight.
UPDATE 11:58 p.m. ET:
The Harris campaign just shut off the sound on the TVs at her watch party and replaced it with music after a guest on CNN said tonight felt “more like 2016 than 2020.” The crowd has significantly thinned here and the mood feels seriously downcast.
UPDATE 11:57 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump has won Maine’s second congressional district:
UPDATE 11:48 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump has won the battleground state of Georgia:
But Kamala Harris, per the AP, has won the state of Virginia:
UPDATE 11:33 p.m. ET:
Republican Bernie Moreno has ousted Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Assuming Republicans take one more, or hold Nebraska’s seat that Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) represents which is surprisingly close tonight, they will retake the U.S. Senate majority.
UPDATE 11:32 p.m. ET:
The Harris campaign is in shambles:
UPDATE 11:20 p.m. ET:
AP and NYT call North Carolina for Trump. By AP’s count, he has secured 230 electoral votes to Harris’s 179.
UPDATE 11:17 p.m. ET:
Democrats flip a New York House seat. Incumbent Rep. Brandon Williams was caught on tape threatening a former staffer in 2023.
UPDATE 11:15 p.m. ET:
Detroit Free Press reporter says Kamala is struggling in an area of Dearborn that Biden overwhelmingly won in 2020.
UPDATE 11:11 p.m. ET:
NYT reports that Harris’s campaign is telling staff to “get some sleep” and check back on the results in “Blue Wall” swing states in the early morning hours:
In a memo sent to the Harris campaign staff and forwarded to The Times, Jen O’Malley Dillon, the campaign chief, said that the race will not come into focus until the early morning hours, when several states in the so-called Blue Wall, including Wisconsin and Michigan, share more complete voter data. She also suggested that staffers get some rest. “This is what we’ve been built for, so let’s finish up what we have in front of us tonight, get some sleep, and get ready to close out strong tomorrow,” she wrote. This is certainly a contrast with the bullish mood emanating from the Trump team.
UPDATE 11:09 p.m. ET:
ABC’s Jon Karl drops a massive wet blanket on hopeful Harris fans: “I’m hearing from several Democrats invested in this campaign that things are looking very bad for Kamala.”
UPDATE 11:07 p.m. ET:
Polls have closed in all states except for Alaska and Hawaii. AP has already called Idaho for Trump, California and Washington for Harris. AP has also called the California Senate race for Democrat Adam Schiff.
UPDATE 10:53 p.m. ET:
CNN is reporting that “silence” is coming from Kamala Harris’s campaign, “looking for bright spots.” But there is not much to find there. Kamala Harris is in very big trouble.
UPDATE 10:52 p.m. ET:
It’s early still in all three states, but Republican Senate candidates Tim Sheehy, Mike Rogers, and David McCormick lead Montana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania respectively.
UPDATE 10:45 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump has now taken the lead in Michigan. With 26 percent reporting according to the New York Times, Trump has a 16,000 vote lead over Harris. He’s at 49.8 percent and she’s at 48.5 percent. This is getting bad for Harris.
UPDATE 10:35 p.m. ET:
It’s early in Minnesota with just 4 percent reporting, but Donald Trump is currently leading Kamala Harris by more than 20,000 votes–59 percent to 38 percent. This will tighten, but this could get really embarrassing for Harris because her running mate Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota.
UPDATE 10:34 p.m. ET:
In all-important Pennsylvania, Donald Trump has extended his lead to a full 3 percent–he’s at 51 percent and Harris is down at 48 percent–and more than 100,000 votes. Things are beginning to look very gloomy for Harris.
UPDATE 10:33 p.m. ET:
With 74 percent reporting in Virginia now, Kamala Harris has retaken a very slight 0.2 percent lead over Trump. It’s definitely not over there. Watch Virginia closely.
UPDATE 10:30 p.m. ET:
With 91 percent reporting in Georgia per the New York Times, Trump leads 51 percent to 48 percent–and he’s up by more than 150,000 votes. It’s becoming time that it may be mathematically impossible for Harris to win Georgia. Expect networks to begin calling it soon.
UPDATE 10:28 p.m. ET:
Trump is performing VERY strongly in New York, particularly in certain boroughs in the city but also among Jewish voters:
UPDATE 10:25 p.m. ET:
NBC News and Decision Desk HQ have now formally called Iowa for Trump. That’s six electoral votes, and egg all over the face of “gold standard” pollster Ann Selzer. We’ll see what the final margin there is when all the votes are in, but she was projecting a Harris victory there and that did not happen.
UPDATE 10:13 p.m. ET:
Republicans have actually flipped the governor’s mansion in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
UPDATE 10:12 p.m. ET:
The first results in Arizona are in, and with 36 percent reporting Trump has a lead of less than 100 votes. It’s early there, but things look strong for Trump.
UPDATE 10:09 p.m. ET:
With 48 percent reporting per the New York Times in Pennsylvania, Trump has taken a clear lead over Harris. Trump is up by more than a full percent, 50.1 percent to 48.9 percent, and by about 40,000 votes.
UPDATE 10:06 p.m. ET:
With 66 percent reporting in Virginia, Trump continues to lead by more than 50,000 votes–50 percent to 48 percent. This is five alarm fire territory for Harris. Rumor has it that Gov. Glenn Youngkin is telling people Trump might be able to win it.
UPDATE 10:02 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump has taken the lead now in Wisconsin over Harris, with 36 percent reporting, according to the Times. Trump leads by more than a full percent about 14,000 votes.
UPDATE 10:00 p.m. ET:
Polls have now closed in Montana, Nevada, and Utah.
UPDATE 9:38 p.m. ET:
Decision Desk HQ has called North Carolina for Trump:
That’s a massive boost for him. No network has called it yet, and the Associated Press has not yet either. But it seems likely to be formally called and soon. The first battleground state is likely to go to Trump.
UPDATE 9:35 p.m. ET:
With 55 percent reporting in North Carolina now per the Times, Trump has taken a nearly 100,000 vote lead over Harris. He’s up 51 percent to 48 percent there.
UPDATE 9:33 p.m. ET:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has won reelection in Texas, defeating Democrat Collin Allred, per Fox News. Also per Fox News, former Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) has won New Hampshire’s governor race, holding that office for the GOP.
What’s more, in Pennsylvania amazingly, exit polls show Trump actually leading among those who believe there is a threat to democracy–but Harris leads among those who believe democracy is secure? Talk about backwards expectations:
UPDATE 9:29 p.m. ET:
With 76 percent in in Georgia per the Times, Trump has an approximately 190,000 vote lead–and is up 5 percent–with 52 percent to Harris’s 47 percent. Things are looking dire for Harris in the Peach State.
UPDATE 9:19 p.m. ET:
With just 3 percent reporting in Wisconsin, Trump has a lead over Harris by about 20,000 votes. He’s at 61 percent to her 38 percent. It’s really early there this will tighten, but strong start off the bat for Trump.
UPDATE 9:16 p.m. ET:
Exit polls are looking horrible for Harris in both Wisconsin and Michigan:
UPDATE 9:10 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump has won the state of Ohio, per the Associated Press. That’s a massive victory.
UPDATE 9:09 p.m. ET:
With 49 percent reporting in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Bernie Moreno has taken a lead over Democrat incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown–leading by about 30,000 votes or so. Moreno’s 49.3 percent is more than a full percent better than Brown’s 47.9 percent.
UPDATE 9:04 p.m. ET:
According to the New York Times, in Virginia, with 51 percent reporting, Trump has taken a slightly less than 30,000 vote lead over Harris. It’s still a state leaning to the Democrats per the Times but the fact Trump is up right now–49.8 percent to 48.5 percent–probably has the Harris campaign uneasy.
UPDATE 9:02 p.m. ET:
Trump has won Texas per many network projections including CNN and Fox News, and Cruz continues to extend his lead in the Lone Star State Senate race.
UPDATE 9:00 p.m. ET:
Polls have now closed in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
UPDATE 8:53 p.m. ET:
In Texas, with 52 percent reporting in the U.S. Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Democrat Rep. Collin Allred, Cruz has a comfortable and growing lead of more than 200,000 votes–51 percent to 48 percent. This is the next step for Republicans to retake the Senate majority, for Cruz to win.
UPDATE 8:44 p.m. ET:
With 21 percent reporting in North Carolina now, Trump has blown open a big lead there and is up by 7 points–53 percent to 46 percent.
UPDATE 8:42 p.m. ET:
With 44 percent reporting in Virginia, Trump is less than 8,000 votes behind Harris. Harris is at 49.3 percent and Trump is at 49 percent. The Times says this is a lean Democrat state, but that’s way closer than Harris would like at this point.
UPDATE 8:40 p.m. ET:
The Harris campaign is frantically using celebrities to urge emergency turnout efforts among college students in battlegrounds–even having them FaceTime call college kids in line, and in some cases show up there:
UPDATE 8:36 p.m. ET:
With 14 percent reporting now in North Carolina, Trump has moved ahead of Harris by less than 20 votes. They’re both at 49.5 percent, and the Times still rates it as a tossup. It’s early here, but Trump’s team believes they have the edge.
UPDATE 8:31 p.m. ET:
With 54 percent reporting in Georgia, the New York Times says that it is now leaning Republican. Trump has an 11 percent lead–55 percent to 44 percent–with nearly 300,000 more votes than Harris.
UPDATE 8:30 p.m. ET:
Polls have closed in Arkansas.
UPDATE 8:28 p.m. ET:
Trump won independents in Pennsylvania, per NBC exit polls:
UPDATE 8:15 p.m. ET:
Hispanic men are going for Trump by double digits according to exit polling, a massive, massive swing from 2020:
UPDATE 8:11 p.m. ET:
Marijuana and abortion amendments have now formally failed in Florida, a massive win for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:
UPDATE 8:09 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump now has a 70 percent chance of winning the entire election, per Decision Desk HQ:
UPDATE 8:07 p.m. ET:
Republicans have made absolutely historic gains in Hispanic stronghold Miami:
UPDATE 8:02 p.m. ET:
Trump, as expected, has won the state of Florida as well as several red states that were just called for Trump in addition. This is massive.
UPDATE 8:00 p.m. ET:
Polls have now closed in all of Florida, and most importantly in Pennsylvania. They have also closed in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Tennessee.
UPDATE 7:59 p.m. ET:
There are majorly positive signs for Trump in parts of Virginia:
UPDATE 7:57 p.m. ET:
While North Carolina’s presidential results are far too early to call still with just 3 percent reporting, Fox News has called North Carolina’s governor race for Democrat Josh Stein. This is not a surprise and totally expected given the major problems that plagued Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s campaign.
UPDATE 7:53 p.m. ET:
This is a major issue for Harris and a boon for Trump in Georgia:
UPDATE 7:48 p.m. ET:
Trump’s Georgia chances just went up yet again:
UPDATE 7:45 p.m. ET:
While it’s still early, Georgia is beginning to look very strong for Donald Trump and it’s becoming harder and harder to see Harris winning the state:
UPDATE 7:42 p.m. ET:
In Florida’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Sen. Rick Scott is like Trump putting up dominant numbers and viewers should expect a formal call as soon as the polls close in the western part of the state. That’s an important development as taking the U.S. Senate majority for Republicans means holding Florida and Texas, and flipping West Virginia plus either Ohio or Montana. In Ohio, with just 1 percent reporting, Republican Bernie Moreno has a lead over incumbent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown.
UPDATE 7:36 p.m. ET:
The AP has called West Virginia’s U.S. Senate race for Republican Gov. Jim Justice, and the governor’s race for GOP Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. That’s a U.S. Senate pickup, as expected, for Republicans.
UPDATE 7:33 p.m. ET:
With 71 percent reporting in Florida, Trump has a more than 600,000 vote lead–and is up by 9 percent. It’s very likely this state gets called right at 8 p.m. ET when the polls close in the western part of the state.
UPDATE 7:30 p.m. ET:
Polls have just closed in West Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina.
CNN projects West Virginia goes to Trump.
UPDATE 7:25 p.m. ET:
With 1 percent in in Virginia now, Harris has moved in front. Long way to go there.
UPDATE 7:23 p.m. ET:
This is an absolutely abysmal number for Kamala Harris:
UPDATE 7:18 p.m. ET:
Trump has opened an early lead over Harris in Georgia 51 percent to 49 percent with 3 percent reporting. It’s early there.
But, in Indiana, the AP just called the U.S. Senate race for Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), who will be the next U.S. Senator from Indiana:
UPDATE 7:16 p.m. ET:
With 42 percent reporting in Florida, Trump has a massive lead–52 percent to Harris’s 47 percent. Remember, the extremely red panhandle still has polls open for another 45 minutes. Florida, while not formally called yet, is shaping up to be a bloodbath for Democrats.
Meanwhile, just a few votes are in in Virginia and Trump has the lead there too with just over 5 thousand votes to Harris’s just over 3,400 votes. Less than 1 percent is in there so this will dramatically change. But the energy is clearly there for Trump this evening and lagging for Harris.
UPDATE 7:12 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump big time won independent voters in Georgia according to exit polling:
CNN’s panel led by Chris Wallace was flabbergasted at this result, since Biden won independents there last time. This is bad news for Harris.
UPDATE 7:08 p.m. ET:
The early numbers out of Duval County, FL, usually a good tell for how Georgia will go, is very strong for Trump and weak for Harris:
With election day numbers, Trump’s number here will likely rise. Duval tends to be a little left of Georgia in the end.
UPDATE 7:03 p.m. ET:
AP has called Indiana for Trump though so that’s a lock:
This means according to AP, Trump has 19 electoral votes and Harris has just 3. More race calls are likely coming soon. More results are coming soon in key states.
UPDATE 7:00 p.m. ET:
CNN projects Trump wins Kentucky and that Harris wins Vermont. That puts Trump in the lead over Harris. CNN says Indiana is still too close to call but Trump has a more than 20 percent lead there.
UPDATE 7:00 p.m. ET:
Polls are now closed in Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, Vermont, parts of Florida, and the rest of Indiana and Kentucky. Expect results from each soon.
There are issues at several Georgia precincts where alleged un-credible “bomb threats,” according to CNN, has forced a handful of precincts to remain open for anywhere from 20 extra minutes to less than an hour extra.
UPDATE 6:56 p.m. ET:
There’s a “lid” at the White House, meaning Biden is done making planned public appearances for the day:
