The final electoral college count is Trump: 312, Harris: 226.
Just days after former President Donald Trump was projected to have won the presidency, Trump's transition team operation has begun, with transition co-chairs confirming that he will be selecting personnel to serve under his leadership in the coming days.

Trump's projected win in the vital swing state marks a sweep of the battleground states.
In Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, a competitive race that the 538 forecast rated as Lean Republican, Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam has an early lead, ahead of Republican freshman incumbent Rep. Zach Nunn 57% to 43%, with 49% of the expected vote reporting.

ABC News has projected that the ballot measures in Maryland and New York that enshrined reproductive rights into state law will pass.
With 29% of the expected vote reporting, Osborn leads Fischer 55% to 45% in the race for Nebraska’s Senate seat.

Osborn has tried to cut an idiosyncratic middle path, supporting abortion rights and unions while championing the Second Amendment, and has not said whether he will caucus with either part if he wins.
