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.
Harris surrogates already throwing in the towel
In a post to social media, Harris surrogate Mark Cuban congratulated Trump on his apparent victory and said that the election was conducted"fair and square." According to NOTUS, another person in Harris's orbit expressed devastation. "I want to go home, get in my own bed and cry," they said.
Will Trump win the popular vote?
Trump claims in his victory speech that he has won the popular vote. That's a little premature; while he does currently have 5 million more votes than Harris, Harris is expected to add to her total as more ballots are counted in states like California. If Trump does win the popular vote, it will be a remarkable achievement: Only one Republican (George W. Bush in 2004) in the last eight presidential elections has done so.
Trump claims victory
Trump is claiming victory at his speech. "I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president," he said. (ABC News hasn't yet projected that he has won, but he is very close to clinching 270 electoral votes.)
Trump is speaking
Trump, on the verge of winning the presidency, is now speaking to his supporters.
Republicans have won 50 Senate seats
With ABC News' projection that Republican businessman Bernie Moreno will win Ohio's Senate seat, a flip for the GOP, the Democrats have lost any real chance at keeping control of the chamber.
While they started the night holding 51 seats (including the independents who caucus with them), Democrats can hope now to win at most 50 — tying the Republicans in an environment where Trump is overwhelmingly likely to be the next president (and thus, JD Vance will supply Republicans the tie-breaking vote in the Senate).
But things could get even worse for Democrats. Montana's incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester currently trails Republican opponent Tim Sheehy by 20 points in Montana, though just 16 percent of the vote is in. If the votes there go the way they are going in other red-state Senate seats, Tester doesn't stand a chance. And Republicans currently lead the Senate races in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
If you were waiting up to see who would win the Senate ... go to bed.
