ABC News projects that Democrat Angela Alsobrooks will win the open U.S. Senate seat in Maryland. She faced off against Republican Larry Hogan, the former governor in the state. Alsobrooks will replace Sen. Ben Cardin, who retired in May after five decades in politics. With roughly 53% of the expected vote in, Alsobrooks led Hogan 60% to 39%. The Democrat’s victory makes her the first Black U.S. senator in Maryland’s history.

Polls closed in an important swing state -- Nevada -- 20 minutes ago. But let this be your reminder that it could be an hour or two before we see any results and possibly days before we know the results of the presidential election there. The state is very close and many voters vote by mail. Historically, it has taken Clark County, where the vast majority of the states' voters live, several days to finish counting.

The results from the Southeastern states are looking good for Trump, as Nathaniel mentioned earlier, and that seems like a win for polling this cycle. As we saw in 2022, we've had a cacophony of complaints about the polls this year: that they were too Republican-leaning, or that they underestimated Trump twice before and might do it again. But everything so far tonight seems to validate that the death of the polling industry, once again, may have been greatly exaggerated.

With just about half of the expected vote reporting in Pennsylvania, Trump leads by about 2 points, 50.5% to 48.6%. The good news for Trump is that he's improved on his 2020 position by about 3 points collectively in the 12 counties (of 67) that have reported at least 90% of their expected vote. One notable example is Lackawanna County in the state's northeast, which has reported 95% of its expected vote. Home to Scranton, Biden's birthplace, it's currently going to Harris by 3 points -- but that's a 5-point decline from Biden's 8-point margin edge there in 2020. Harris' hopes probably lie in winning more votes in the Philadelphia blue-collar counties and Philadelphia proper, which have many outstanding votes.

ABC News projects that Trump will win the presidential contest in Arkansas, gaining the state's six electoral votes. He won with 61% of the state's votes against Clinton in 2016 and 62% against Biden in 2020. His former press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is the state's current governor.
