Election Day 2024: Live results and analysis
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 looks to be on track for a second presidency.
Beyond the presidential race, ABC News projects that Republicans will gain control of the Senate in the 119th Congress, set to begin on Jan. 3, 2025.
We're bringing you the latest updates, analysis and projections.
While addressing supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, where a watch party is being held, former President Donald Trump claimed 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.)
Former Pres. Trump addressed supporters at Election Night headquarters, "This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before, and frankly, I believe this was the greatest political movement of all-time."

Trump now has 266 electoral votes
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.
Trump's impending victory is historic for a multitude of reasons. He is just the second former president to lose reelection and then return four years later to win back the White House (Democrat Grover Cleveland was the first during the period from 1884 to 1892). He also won despite various personal legal troubles that were unprecedented for a major-party presidential contender. It remains to be seen if Trump will return to office with his party in full control of government: ABC News has projected the Senate will go Republican, but the House remains up in the air at this late (or especially early) hour.
