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 is also the projected winner in Arizona, a state the former president flipped after losing it to Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump's projected win in the vital swing state marks a sweep of the battleground states.
With 32% of the expected vote reporting in the open race in Alabama's 2nd District, Figures, the Democrat, is ahead of Dobson, the Republican, 62% to 38%. Dobson, one of just several non-incumbent Republican women running in somewhat competitive races today, isn't favored in our forecast, winning just nine-in-100 simulations. I'll be watching this race and a few others where GOP women could stand to gain ground tonight.
ABC News has projected that Harris will win New York and its 28 electoral votes. With 36% of the expected vote reporting there, she's ahead by 30 points, although that margin will come down to some extent as more votes are reported (based on what's outstanding).
In the Senate race, ABC News has also projected that Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand will easily win reelection, too. The big thing to watch in New York, though, is the state's half-dozen competitive House races. But each of those remains far from decided at this point.
2024 Election: Projections for N.Y., R.I., and La.
Democrat Elizabeth Warren is projected by ABC to be reelected senator from Massachusetts. Warren, who the widely used DW-NOMINATE ideological score places as the most liberal sitting U.S. senator, joined the Senate in 2013 after defeating incumbent Republican Scott Brown, who himself won a surprising special election to fill the seat formerly held by Democrat Ted Kennedy.
ABC News has projected that Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride has won election to her state's at-large congressional district, making her the first openly transgender person to be elected to Congress. It's been a history-making night for the First State: Earlier in the evening, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester won her election to become the first woman and first Black person to be elected to the U.S. Senate from Delaware.
