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.
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%.
When will Wisconsin be projected?
Wisconsin could be one of the next states to be projected. One of the big things we're waiting for there is for all the absentee ballots in Milwaukee to be counted, which is done all together at a central location. According to Alison Dirr of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, that process is just getting started.

Democrats retain Michigan's 8th District
ABC News projects that Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet has defeated Republican Paul Junge in Michigan's 8th District. Located around Flint, Trump did better in that part of the state than previously, but Democrats managed to retain this open seat held by retiring Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee.
Harris win's Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District
ABC News projects that Harris will win the electoral vote from Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District. Trump had already picked up the Cornhusker State's two statewide electoral votes, as well as the electoral votes from the state's other two congressional districts.
Republicans could build a sizable Senate majority
Time for a quick overview of where things stand in the Senate. Republicans flipped West Virginia earlier to move the Senate to 50-50, and two other seats could very well flip to them. In Ohio, 90% of the expected vote has been reported, and Republican Bernie Moreno leads Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, 51% to 46%. Brown looks in very rough shape, needing a ton of help from the remaining votes in parts of Cleveland and northern Ohio to close that gap. In Montana, we barely have any votes reporting so far, but Republican Tim Sheehy is ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester 56% to 43%.
If they win those two with West Virginia, Republicans would hold 52 seats. But with the presidential race so close in some of the key swing states, the GOP could perhaps add as many as three more to get to 55 seats. In Pennsylvania, Republican Dave McCormick leads Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr by 1 point, 49% to 48%, with 68% of the expected vote reporting. In Wisconsin, 60% of the expected vote has reported, and Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican Eric Hovde are tied at 49%. In Michigan, Republican Mike Rogers leads Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin 49% to 48%. About the only good news for Democrats in the key races right now is that Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego leads Republican Kari Lake by 7 points in Arizona with about half the expected vote reporting.
