PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- 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 in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware on Tuesday and cast ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.

Donald Trump wins Pennsylvania

ABC News projects that Trump will win Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes, which puts him on course to win at least 270 electoral votes and the presidency.

He now has 266 electoral votes, and while ABC News has not yet projected the three electoral votes in Alaska or one vote in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, his edge so far tonight suggests that he is more than likely to.

Additionally, he leads by varying margins in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.

Andy Kim defeats Curtis Bashaw to fill Senate seat vacated by Bob Menendez, ABC News projects

Democratic U.S. Rep. Andy Kim defeated Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw Tuesday to fill the New Jersey Senate seat vacated by Bob Menendez, ABC News projects.

Menendez resigned this year after his federal conviction on bribery charges.

Kim becomes the first Korean-American in the Senate.

His victory keeps a reliably Democratic seat under his party's control. A three-term congressman, Kim gained national attention in 2021 when he was spotted cleaning up the U.S. Capitol after the Jan. 6 insurrection, bagging trash.

His victory on Tuesday extends Democrats' decades-long winning streak in gubernatorial contests.

Democrat Sarah McBride wins Delaware US House seat, ABC News projects

Democrat state Sen. Sarah McBride is projected to become the first openly transgender person to serve in Congress, ABC News projects.

She ran against Republican businessman John Whalen III.

With significant advantages in party registration numbers and campaign contributions, McBride was the favorite in the House race.

McBride has established a national profile as an LGBTQ activist and raised more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions from around the country. She achieved national recognition at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention in the United States.

After scoring an easy Democrat primary win in September, McBride said she was not running for Congress to make history, but instead "to make historic progress for Delawareans."

As a state senator, McBride has earned a reputation for working on healthcare issues, including successfully sponsoring legislation to create a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance program. She also sponsored legislation regarding Medicaid reimbursement rates for home healthcare services and expanded access to dental care for low-income Delawareans. Another bill she sponsored imposed a 3.58% tax on the net revenue of Delaware hospitals to leverage additional federal Medicaid funds. All of those bills became law.

Democrats have held Delaware's U.S. House seat since 2011. This year's race opened up last year after Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester said she would finish this term and run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by fellow Democrat Tom Carper.
