In the high-stakes presidential match-up between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, results have been projected in several of the key swing states, and Trump has secured enough Electoral College votes to appear on track for a second presidency.
Beyond the presidential race, also voters hit the polls around the country Tuesday and cast ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.
Reporters from 538 and ABC News are following along every step of the way with live updates, analysis and commentary on the results. Keep up to date with our full live blog below.
Mixed results for abortion measures
ABC News has made a few new projections in abortion-related ballot measure campaigns. First, Montana's Initiative 128, which sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, passed, 57% to 43%. However, Amendment G in South Dakota, which would have done the same thing, failed by a wide margin, 61% to 39%.
In addition, Nebraska's Initiative 434, to ban abortion after the first trimester, has passed 55% to 45%. A competing measure, Initiative 439, which would have protected abortion rights, is currently trailing 51% to 49%.
Overall, abortion-rights ballot measures have done pretty well tonight; seven of them passed. But it's not the perfect record that such measures enjoyed in 2022 and 2023.
Senate Democrats still have a shot at winning Michigan and Wisconsin
Republicans will win the Senate, but by how much remains to be seen. Two seats where the GOP currently leads are Michigan and Wisconsin, but in each Democrats might actually be able to win once all the votes are counted. In Michigan, Slotkin has virtually caught up to Rogers in the vote count, and there are many thousands of votes left in Wayne and Kalamazoo counties, so she's favored to win at this point. In Wisconsin, Hovde has just under a 2-point lead, but Baldwin has a path to erasing it, mainly because there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 120,000 absentee votes left in Milwaukee. If those break roughly 80-20% for Baldwin, she might have a path to overcoming Hovde's roughly 50,000-vote lead. It's going to be close one way or the other.
Republicans maintain control of the Wisconsin state legislature
Republicans have kept their majority in the Wisconsin Assembly, though Democrats managed to break the GOP's supermajority in the state Senate, according to the AP. Democrats had hoped that new, fairer state legislative maps would allow them to retake the lower chamber, but they'll have to wait until 2026 for their next chance. With Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in office for at least another two years, the Badger State will remain under divided government.
Fish, family and failure?
Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska is the Democrat who occupies the Trumpiest House district in the country, and as such, she was a top Republican target. So far, Republicans have to be encouraged by the results. With 68% of the expected vote reporting, Republican Nick Begich has 50.02% of first-place vote to Peltola's 45%. Those decimal places are important because Alaska uses ranked-choice voting to decide its elections if no candidate gets a majority. As of right now, if these numbers hold, Begich would win outright.
John James wins Michigan's 10th District
ABC News projects that John James has won reelection in Michigan's 10th District. This isn't a huge surprise, as our preelection forecast said this was a "Lean Republican" seat. Nevertheless, James is winning it by a notably large margin: 53-43%.
