Polls have closed in some states and the first results are coming in in the high-stakes presidential match-up between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. According to
538's forecast, both candidates have a roughly equal chance to win.
Voters are still at polling places around the country, casting ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.
Reporters from 538 and ABC News will be 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!
North Carolina projected to go to Trump
ABC News is projecting that Trump is expecting to win North Carolina's 16 electoral votes. This is one of several swing states to watch tonight, as it shifted from a "lean Republican" to a "toss-up" state after Harris joined the presidential race.
The state has been competitive in presidential years past. In 2016, Trump narrowly won North Carolina by roughly four percentage points. But in 2020, the former president's margin narrowed to just 1 percentage point. As Election Day votes continue to trickle in, and with 89% of the expected vote in, Trump leads Harris, 51% to 48%.
ABC News projects Bernie Moreno to win Ohio's Senate seat
As of 11:30 p.m. Eastern with 89% of the expected vote reported, ABC News has called the election for Ohio's Senate seat for Republican Bernie Moreno. He currently leads incumbent Sherrod Brown by 5 points. That will make for a pretty big overperformance of the fundamentals and polls in the State; our final forecast had the state 1 point off of Lean Moreno.
Connecticut projected to stay in the Democratic camp
ABC News is projecting Harris to hold Connecticut’s seven Electoral College votes. The Senate race in the state was also projected for Democratic incumbent Chris Murphy earlier this evening.
Texas Republicans hold at least one border-area Congressional seat
ABC News is projecting that Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz will retain control of Texas’s 15th District. With nearly 70% of the expected vote in, De La Cruz currently leads her opponent, Michelle Vallejo, 55% to 45%.
Spartz leading in Indiana's 5th Congressional District
After struggling to decide whether to run again, Rep. Victoria Spartz is leading her Democratic challenger in Indiana's 5th Congressional District, 54% to 41%, with 56% of the expected vote reporting. It's a race we're keeping an eye on: Spartz bested eight challengers in her primary to regain the nomination. She's the only Ukrainian American to serve in Congress, and while she's supported Ukraine's war against Russia's invasion she voted against a military aid bill in April, calling for more oversight of the money the U.S. sends to the country.
