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 will capture the Senate
ABC News projects that Republicans will gain control of the Senate in the 119th Congress, set to begin on Jan. 3, 2025. ABC News has projected Republican pickups in Ohio and West Virginia, which puts the GOP at 51 seats, and Republicans currently hold narrow leads in Michigan, Montana, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Nevada also looks very close, so the GOP could in theory secure as many as 56 seats based on the way results look right now.
