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. With wins in Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Trump is on track to win the presidency.

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.

Republicans projected to win Missouri's Senate race, lead Nebraska

With polls closed, ABC News is projecting that Republican Josh Hawley has won reelection to the Senate in Missouri, and Republican Mike Kehoe will win the governor's race, succeeding the current Republican governor, Mike Parson, who is term-limited out. ABC News also projects that Sen. Pete Ricketts, who was appointed after former Sen. Ben Sasse resigned, will keep his seat and win his first election to the chamber.

We're still waiting on a projection in the Nebraska Senate race between Deb Fischer and Dan Osborn, but Nathaniel was right earlier: the independent is underperforming his benchmarks, and Fischer is still a favorite to win.

Sen. Ted Cruz performing well in Texas Senate race

Ted Cruz looks like he's on his way to a third term in Washington, D.C. Polls ahead of tonight predicted a close, single-digit race in the Senate contest, where Cruz faced a challenge from Rep. Colin Allred. But the results we have now suggest a win will be more squarely in Cruz's lane: He currently leads Allred 54% to 44%, according to vote returns. Political prognosticators followed this race, in part, because Cruz only narrowly won his reelection bid in 2018, against former Rep. Beto O'Rourke. While Allred generated a lot of fanfare for out-raising O'Rourke, the evidence we have so far shows that Allred significantly underperformed him in key parts of the state, including Tarrant County, home to Fort Worth. While O'Rourke and Biden carried this county in 2018 and 2020, respectively, Cruz is currently winning the purple enclave this year by about 2 percentage points.

She faced off against Republican Larry Hogan, the former governor in the state. Alsobrooks will replace Sen. Ben Cardin, who retired in May after five decades in politics. With roughly 53% of the expected vote in, Alsobrooks led Hogan 60% to 39%. The Democrat's victory makes her the first Black U.S. senator in Maryland's history.

Polls are closed in swing state Nevada, but we probably won't see results for awhile

Polls closed in an important swing state -- Nevada -- 20 minutes ago. But let this be your reminder that it could be an hour or two before we see any results and possibly days before we know the results of the presidential election there. The state is very close and many voters vote by mail. Historically, it has taken Clark County, where the vast majority of the states' voters live, several days to finish counting.
