Polls have closed in some states and the first results are coming in in the high-stakes presidential match-up between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. According to 538's forecast, both candidates have a roughly equal chance to win.

Voters are still at polling places around the country, casting ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.

Early marker in Virginia suggests Harris leads there, but may have reason to worry

Loudoun County outside of the nation's capitol contributed the third-largest share of Virginia's statewide vote in 2020 (4.4%), and with 95% of its expected vote reporting, Harris clearly leads there by about 16 points, 56% to 40%. That puts her ahead our benchmark for her in Loudoun (Harris +12), but puts her well behind Biden's 25-point margin there in 2020. So on the one hand, Harris may be in a position to win Virginia. However, Loudoun is a highly affluent, highly educated county — the kind of place Harris may need to improve on nationally if she's losing ground in other sorts of places. It is true, however, that Loudoun took a sharp turn to the right in the state's 2021 gubernatorial election, which the Democratic nominee carried by only 11 points en route to a 2-point loss statewide. So we'll want to keep seeing data from other spots before saying Loudoun is a signal of a national trend.

Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. go to Harris

ABC News is projecting that Harris is expected to win Washington D.C., Maryland, and Massachusetts. That will add 24 electoral college votes to her column, but these results shouldn’t be a surprise — both states, and Washington D.C., are overwhelming Democratic.

The story here is the same as the statewide call: Republican turnout is simply too high for Democratic candidates to overcome the deficit with the votes that our outstanding.
